If you have in-person resources anywhere in the United States in support of the couple with transitioning matters, and spouses who stay, please send them to Shannon Batts couplescoach@gmail.com. Click here for the transgender relationship online support pages Since our launch in 2016, Spouses' Group stays active with about 20 cisgender spouses who meet in small groups on a drop in basis.
Over 27 additional spouses, prior members, who remain supportively together in their relationships have graduated and have access to Relationship Gardening special events and continued networking from within the online private group run by peers from the group. Couples groups, the 3 weeks online series and the Advanced group offered for marriages with a partner who is transgender are available for members of Spouses Group and their partners. Registration required by phone conversation with Shannon. The Advanced Couples Group in Portland, OR is just for the transitioning couples who attended the 3 or 4 week couples group series. This is a supportive and positive community that also deals with all the aspects, feelings, and concerns unique to transitioning mid relationship. As of Feb 2020, there are 10 couples active in this unique and rare Advanced Couples Group for transgender partners and their cisgender spouses. All groups offered by Relationship Gardening, Shannon Batts are by donation!
