Metrowest Area Trans Support (MATS)
About Us
Metrowest Area Trans Support (MATS) is a peer-run support group for trans and non-binary people who are 18+ and living in and around the Metrowest, Massachusetts area. Join us if you are looking for support in understanding your gender identity, help with coming out or transitioning, emotional support, a sense of community, a place where you belong, or just to meet relatable people. Anybody who identifies as trans (transgender, transsexual, non-binary, genderqueer, genderfluid, agender, bigender, pangender, intersex, etc…) or who is sincerely questioning their gender identity is welcome.
Our Meetings
Our meetings are focused on receiving support, validation, feedback and problem solving. We emphasize group participation and mutual respect; a volunteer facilitator and co-facilitator, and individual check-ins help ensure that no one dictates the flow of conversation and everyone has a chance to express themselves.
When meeting in person, we meet in a room with plenty of chairs, air conditioning, heating, fans, wifi, and easy access to bathrooms
Meetings Online and In-Person
We meet weekly virtually/on-line. One week per month is an in-person meeting at a safe, welcoming space in Framingham, Massachusetts.
We do not publish our meeting location and time online in order to protect the safety and privacy of our members.
Details will be provided after you join us.
Our location in Framingham is wheelchair accessible and has a wheelchair accessible bathroom.
If you have any accommodation needs please let us know as we strive to meet other accessibility needs.
