Thus we off the following for these special genetic women.

P.A.L.S. Our own wives and special woman friends have a group that meets regularly to work out issues and provide information and comfort to those women in need. Read their information page.

S.P.I.C.E. -- Spouses and Partners International Conference for Education

Every year Tri-Ess sponsors and presents the Spouses and Partners International Conference for Education, (SPICE). Although it is presented in accordance with the Tri-Ess family-oriented concept, the SPICE Conference is for all wives and partners in the gender community. In fact, spouses from outside Tri-Ess serve on the SPICE Planning Board, and non-Tri-Ess groups help sponsor it.

The Department of Wives and Partners Support, whose Director serves as the Coordinator of SPICE, has assembled an eminent professional faculty. SPICE features programs on self-esteem, building relationships, women's wellness and family issues, all in the context of crossdressing. Husbands also enjoy programs on relationship building and putting balance into their lives. For the sake of wives who are struggling with their husbands crossdressing, this is a non-crossdressing event. SPICE has been called upon to present wives and partners programs at other community events as well. Pioneering the concept of a wives and partners conference
is one more example of Tri-Ess use of its specialized expertise to gift the entire gender community.
