When I joined Chrysalis I was in a very dark and confusing place. Chrysalis helped me to come to terms with myself and sort my thoughts out to lead a better life for me and my family.” – Cassie In 2012 we increased our services offered to include confidential safe spaces and counselling to those affected by someone else’s gender identity issues. Our ‘Significant Other Support (SOS)’ groups give parents and partners a place for their own discussions and help. In supporting family units, Chrysalis assists families to stay together or reconnect. Since 2005, we have supported over 500 beneficiaries and around 100 people currently access our services and we aim to increase service provision to another 50 people by the end of 2018. Typically beneficiaries stay with Chrysalis for six months to two years, receiving 16-24 sessions of free one-to-one counselling and many return as volunteers.
