Supporting families and friends of trans people
Free, confidential and non-judgemental support for adults in the UK with a trans partner, friend or adult family member.
Depend is a UK organisation offering free, confidential and non-judgemental advice, information and support to adults with a trans partner, friend or adult family member who is considering or undergoing transition, or who has transitioned.
We are the partners and ex-partners, the parents and the adult children, the family members and the friends — the significant others of trans people across the UK.
If you are struggling we will support you. If you are celebrating we will join you. This is a place of learning and sharing. This is a place of respect and love. You are not alone anymore.
