Supporting and Affirming Your LGBTQ+ Child

Many parents and caregivers of LGBTQ+ young people want to be supportive but aren’t sure where to begin. Caregivers may be lacking information, resources, and community. They may have concerns about how their child’s identity corresponds with their cultural or religious background. And they may have anxiety and fears around how their child will be treated by others. This workshop, hosted by Life & Work Connections, will address common concerns such as these, as well as best practices for affirming your LGBTQ+ young person, and resources for support. The workshop will also touch on approaches that are potentially harmful, and what to do if your child hasn’t come out but you think they might be LGBTQ+. Join us for this conversation on compassionate parenting.
