My friend (tg male to female) is in the closet right now and a support group is essential for him. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a support group in or near Amherst, MA. I think he'd be willing to drive up to an hour or two from there if necessary (Boston possibly?).
Thank you so much for your help.

Hello Afriend, pleased to meet you.
A google for "transgender support Amherst, Massachusetts"
Brought up http://www.lavenderlips.com/resources.html, which contains at least one promising sounding link:
Perhaps also, Trans-Gender Expressions' Massachusetts resource listing (http://www.tg2tg.org/resources/us/massachusetts.htm) contains something of value.
It often helps to know they are not alone, and need not suffer in silence. Please feel free to direct your friend to these forums (or another TG forum), no obligation to post or even register.
I am glad your friend has a friend like you. (=

Welcome RebeccaFog. Why not post an intro in the introductions forum? This thread is almost a year old and the person requesting info is no longer a registered member, but thanks for providing that information.
