How can parents support their kids in seeking gender-affirming care

13:36

How do children process their own gender identity? What do parents need to know and how can they support their kids?

We ask a psychiatrist and a child social worker about the key things children across the gender spectrum and their families should know.

For more clarity on gender-related conversations, see this guide to gender identity terms and a list of resources for kids and parents.

This segment aired on June 14, 2023.
