Deep dives

The Development of ROGD Repair

ROGD Repair is a program designed to support parents of youth experiencing rapid onset gender dysphoria. The program was developed from extensive interactions with families, where the focus shifted from providing therapy to consulting, as parents needed practical insights on understanding their children’s psychology. By recognizing that traditional therapy models were often unhelpful in these contexts, the creator shifted her approach to equip parents with the necessary tools and knowledge for effective engagement. This led to the evolution of a comprehensive online course that offers resources and a supportive community for navigating the complexities of gender ideology and its impact on youth.
