Spouses Group, Portland began in 2016 meeting in person. The 2020 pandemic moved everything online,
and opened the group to CA since Shannon is licensed in both states.
Spouses Group, Oregon meets online via Zoom
for eligible Oregonians from anywhere in the state of Oregon.
Spouses Group, California meets online via Zoom
for eligible Californians from anywhere in the state of California.
These groups may be combined.
Are you a cisgender spouse of a partner who came out to you as transgender, or nonbinary? Maybe your partner announced that they don't know what their gender is but they do know it is not the one assigned at birth. Perhaps your partner is questioning their gender.
Do you want to find a way forward together in a mutually supportive relationship?
When your partner comes out as transgender or nonbinary, it's not easy finding supportive resources for you as a couple to make it through the transition connected and moving forward together. Spouses Group, a support group with a professional leader, is a positive community that understands the mixed feelings in being the cisgender spouse of someone questioning gender. You have your own transition too! Spouses Group provides an opportunity for members to move through grief if there is some, all the while remaining supportive of their partner.
Spouses Group also inspires ways to honor and celebrate yourself and the changes when you are ready.
Spouses Group opens the door to apply for access to Couples Group-where spouses and their partners who are interested join a group of similar couples to further support the growth of the relationship through transition, building a supportive community of similar families.

Love remains; we'll sort the rest out together.
