Pinwheels is a network of families embracing their children's and teens gender creativity in a kind and loving manner. Our support group focuses on providing a monthly meeting place for parents to connect with other families by sharing information and experiences.
There are two Pinwheels groups. In the greater Chicago area we meet in a Northwest suburb. There is also a group in the St. Louis area. Each meeting divides attendees into two groups; a parents' discussion group and a children and teens playgroup.
Monthly meetings are private to protect privacy. Meetings are only open to families that have already decided to accept and support their gender expansive children and teens and only immediate family members are allowed to attend.
