We are currently holding our Transgender + Gender Expansive Support Group meetings virtually. Our meetings are supported by an easy-to-use online meeting tool called Zoom. CLICK HERE to get set-up with Zoom.
Join us for our regular monthly meeting focused on the transgender and gender expansive community, friends, families, and allies for support and education. Support group will immediately follow the speaker.
Join us for the FIRST of our Quarterly "Ask the Doctor” Sessions of 2025
with Dr. Juline Asamoah, MD (she/her)
Are you the parent or caregiver of a transgender or gender expansive individual wanting to support their journey? Are you a member of the LGBTQ+ community with questions about your own Gender Affirming care options? Come to our open forum to ask these medical professionals any important care questions that you may be seeking answers to. We are here to listen and help you find some clarity on these important topics.
About our Doctor:
Dr. Asamoah enjoys caring for both children and adults, particularly adolescents as they transition to adulthood. Her interests include transition medicine of those with chronic childhood disease, adolescent medicine, women's health, and LGBTQ+ health. She is passionate about learning and teaching about the disparities in health in underserved populations and how those social determinants of health impact an individual.
In her free time, she loves being a foodie, traveling, and spending time with family and friends

A NOTE ABOUT VIRTUAL MEETINGS:
We will be utilizing Zoom features that provide the highest level of safety and confidentiality possible. Zoom is free to you and you need not have an account to join us. If you are new to Zoom, you can follow the links [here] for brief tutorials on all you need to know to sign on to a Zoom meeting with us. We ask that each of you that would like to participate in the on-line support, contact us in advance by email at rsvp@pflagmanhattanbeach.org to RSVP for the meeting. We will cut off RSVPs at 5 p.m. on the day of the meeting. All participants will receive a follow-up email with the link to the Zoom call and a password. For confidentiality’s sake, please do not forward these to another participant — they are welcome to contact us directly to receive the link.
We recognize that youth may be interested in the educational part of this meeting and they are welcome to join us. As usual, we ask that youth who may want to stick around for our support groups be joined by a parent. Some heavy emotions can emerge in the course of our sessions and having a parent on-hand helps to ensure that the needs of any youth on the call are met.
There are some benefits to utilizing new tools like Zoom. We recognize that our typical evening support group meetings are not feasible for everyone due to work, family or other demands. If there is a need, we would like to offer an additional support group Zoom conference call sometime during the daytime hours. If you are interested in a daytime support group, email us at info@pflagmanhattanbeach.org and let us know what times might be more workable for you.
If you need more personalized assistance and support, we remain here for you. Email us confidentially and we will work with you to identify the best member of our team to assist with your individual needs.
