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:

Stonewall Center 256 Sunset Avenue Office Crampton House/SW Amherst MA 01003-9324

Lesbian Bisexual Gay and Transgender Educational Resource Center at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst

Phone 413.545.4824 stonewall@stuaf.umass.edu

Perhaps also, Trans-Gender Expressions' Massachusetts resource listing 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.

Thanks so much, Kimberly. This is very encouraging. I'll pass this on to him.

Hi,
there is a web page at www.tcne.org that covers new england. There are meetings in and around Boston.


I wish you and your friend well,

Becky
