About This Workshop

  • 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? 

Whether 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. 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.
