Résumé
Les recherches sur les parents d’enfants trans et non binaires (TNB) sont rares et présentent souvent l’expérience de parents habitant en zones urbaines. L’expérience des personnes demeurant en région est encore peu connue. Cette recherche action sociale s’intéresse à l’expérience des parents d’enfants TNB vivant dans les régions du Bas-Saint-Laurent, de la Gaspésie et des Îles-de-la-Madeleine et examine leurs besoins, défis et enjeux. Les résultats montrent que ces parents vivent des expériences similaires aux autres parents d’enfants TNB, mais aussi des défis spécifiques au milieu rural. Une discussion sur le développement des services en région conclut l’article.

Abstract
Research on parents of trans and non-binary (TNB) children is still scarce and generally involves urban samples. Little is known about the experiences of parents of TNB children living in the regions. This social action research project focuses on the experience of parents of TNB children living in the Bas-Saint-Laurent, Gaspésie and Îles-de-la-Madeleine regions and examines their specific needs, challenges and issues. The results show that these parents have similar experiences to other parents of NBD children, but also face challenges specific to the rural environment. A discussion on the development of services in the regions concludes the article.
