Rainbow Children & Young People

To give others easy access to KidsHealth's content on supporting rainbow tamariki and rangatahi, you can share a QR code poster. Anyone can scan the QR code with their phone and go straight to the KidsHealth section on supporting rainbow tamariki and rangatahi. 

A listing of organisations, resources and supports available for parents and whānau (family) of rainbow tamariki (children) and rangatahi (young people).

Consider checking out some inspirational trans and nonbinary people.

Watch a series of videos. The first video, 'The REAL Sex Talk', is an introduction to gender identity. The video series from InsideOUT celebrates the diversity of the rainbow community and features young people talking about their experience.

All tamariki (children) explore different ways of expressing their gender. For some tamariki, gender can be fluid. Be open to wherever your child's gender journey leads. Find out how to support your gender diverse younger child or teen, and where to get your own support. Check the resources for takatāpui and whānau, and Pasifika young people.
