Spousal
Support:
While Xpressions welcomes partners to all our events, Kathy (spouse and supporter of an Xpression's member) in particular has has provided spouses and other women with a shoulder
to lean on and shared many personal experiences. Unfortunately, life family and career prevent Kathy from continuing. We would like to thank Kathy for all her work and support.
Many spouses and partners get together at our events, be it one on one or a group getting together to discuss Crossdressing and transgender issues. This is not professional counselling but meeting others and sharing can be helpful.
Toronto offers a number of counselling services as noted above.
