Sometimes HELP needs to be face to face

By Liz Welch | Executive Director

Thanks to your support, Mama Dragons has seen tremendous growth in our Parents of LGBTQ+ Children Therapy Groups—and with that growth, a clear message has emerged: families need more local, in-person connection than ever before. While our online spaces provide critical safety, community, and counseling support, we are increasingly hearing from mothers who want to continue that connection face-to-face in their own regions.

In response, Mama Dragons is expanding beyond our virtual network and working to form in-person support groups and regional gatherings in communities where parents are feeling the greatest pressure, isolation, and fear—especially families raising transgender youth amid hostile legislation and rhetoric. Building on the strength of our online community, we have launched plans for in-person retreats across the country, creating spaces where mothers can breathe, learn, and support one another with the depth and warmth that only happens when people are physically together.

These retreats and local support circles will help parents build stronger networks, deepen resilience, and return to their communities better equipped to advocate for their children and for themselves.

Your generosity is making this next chapter possible. With your continued support, we will expand these in-person offerings, strengthen local networks, and ensure that every mother—no matter where she lives—has access to community, care, and hope.
