LGBTQ+ Basics for Parents: Affirm and Protect Your Child an Omnicom exclusive workshop

Experts

Amy Alamar,EdD

Acey Neel,MA, LPC

Challenges & Solutions

Does the idea of talking with your child about sexual orientation and gender identity feel difficult or even a little scary?
Do you wonder how to raise a child to be open to those issues in themselves and an ally to others?
Are you concerned that your child won’t be safe or accepted or may even encounter bullying because you or they identify as LGBTQ+?

Whether you or your child identifies as LGBTQ+ or you just want to help your kids be more aware and accepting of the range of identities around them, this session is for you.

Clear communication, strong connection, acceptance, and love go a long way in all relationships. And regardless of your child’s identity, bullying is very much a reality especially as civility is diminishing in public discourse. In addition social networking technology has expanded the ways that bullying touches children’s lives. There are proactive steps you can take to equip your child with the tools they need to navigate these difficult situations confidently. Kids who have had conversations with their parents about bullying are more likely to come to their parents for support when they need it.

Join us for an honest, informative and safe space conversation on this complex topic facilitated by two Peace At Home specialists who are parents as well as professionals in the fields of mental health and family science. Let’s work together to foster a generation of confident, resilient, and empowered individuals. We’ll discuss approaches to arming our children with the skills they need to face the challenges of life with courage and grace.

JoAnn Robinson,PhD

Challenges & Solutions

Children look to their parents and caregivers for signals of whether their world is safe or dangerous. Join this live, interactive workshop to gain essential strategies to support your child’s feelings of optimism and security.

Signaling safety to our children is an essential principle of peace at home. It is important to recognize the nature of your own anxious responses and have tools to manage those. Children need family life to remain pleasurable and playful even in uncertain times. When you understand how to signal to your child that they are safe, you are better able to protect their mental health. Research shows that a child who feels safe with their parents and caregivers will grow and develop positively, and naturally use social-emotional strategies to solve problems.

Parenting a neurodivergent child—whether they’ve been diagnosed with autism, ADHD, or another learning difference—can be deeply rewarding and uniquely challenging. Traditional discipline strategies may fall short, and navigating services like special education can feel overwhelming. These workshops help families reduce conflict, increase cooperation, and build stronger relationships based on empathy, structure, and flexibility.

The parent-child relationship is the most powerful mental health intervention known to humankind. – Bessel van der Kolk, MD

Learning loss, undeveloped social-emotional skills, soaring anxiety, depression and self-harm are among the many issues our children are facing. Post-pandemic parenting is not for the faint of heart. While you are struggling to maintain your own wellbeing, meet work demands and care for your family, your kids are dealing with challenges that are more intense than we have ever imagined. Where do you start and what really matters?

The good and bad news is that your everyday interactions with your child have a powerful influence on their emotional wellbeing. But what kinds of interactions really make a difference? And why do they matter?

This workshop will highlight the nature of stress as it relates to your children, the impact of family conflict, and the power of everyday connection and joy. Without recognizing that certain behaviors tell a story about your child’s unmet needs or the mismatch between our expectations and our kids’ capacities, it’s easy to miss important signs and symptoms. Sometimes we even make things worse in our efforts to remedy the problems. Let’s do this together.
