Building a supportive home environment is a key psychiatric intervention for reducing negative outcomes and increasing resilience in transgender and gender expansive (TGE) youth. TGE youth experience significant negative health outcomes due to numerous proximal and distal stressors as summarized in the gender minority stress framework, including internalized transphobia and discrimination, respectively.1 Cognitive–behavioral family therapy (CBFT) is an integrative therapeutic approach that emphasizes the family as a system, in which changes in behavior or thought processes of one member can influence the entire family unit.
