SUPPORT YOU NEED.
FROM PARENTS WHO UNDERSTAND.
Trusted, one-to-one conversations where caregivers share resources, gain clarity, confidence, and practical guidance they can rely on.
Uphold is a trusted network of parents and caregivers supporting transgender, gender-diverse, and gender-questioning children.
Families come to Uphold from many backgrounds and beliefs, united by a shared commitment to their children. Our network centers on lived experience, privacy, and relevance, connecting caregivers with others who understand the realities of supporting young people through gender dysphoria, exploration, and self-understanding.
With greater clarity and steadiness, caregivers make informed decisions and create environments where children feel safe, respected, and able to thrive.
We match you 1:1 with other caregivers for honest, private conversations.
You are not alone. Find parents and caregivers who help foster the understanding, shared learning, and support you need.
