Supporting parents of 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals can feel like a delicate balancing act. While ensuring the well-being of 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals is our priority, the parental experience is often overlooked—leaving many feeling isolated, uncertain, or withdrawn.
This interactive workshop is designed for professionals working with LGBTQ+ individuals and their families. Together, we’ll explore the complexities of the parental journey when a child comes out and learn how to strengthen parental involvement in ways that benefit both the parent and the child.
