Supporting Your Child’s Coming Out: Nurturing Both Them and Yourself
All parents desire the best for their children, but many are caught off-guard when their child comes out as LGBTQ+. They are unsure of what to say and/or how to react or even “what this means.” LGBTQ+ youth can also face some unique challenges that parents often feel unprepared to tackle. Join the webcast to learn how to navigate this journey, find support, and ensure everyone’s well-being.
Date: Wednesday, June 21
Time: 10 – 11 am PT
Location: Streaming via Zoom
Cost: Free
This webcast welcomes parents, educators, professionals, and the community at large.
During this webcast, we’ll discuss:

Exploring and normalizing common reactions you have when your child comes out
Learning how to effectively support your child during their coming out process
Learning how to find resources and support for both you and your child

Speakers:

Dr. Jason Bolton (He/Him, Moderator), VP of Admissions & Community Partnerships at The Help Group
Jay Baldwin (They/Them), Program Director of The Help Group’s Kaleidoscope
Christina K. (She/Her) – Proud Parent
