About
When a child opens up about their gender identity or sexual orientation, they’re trusting you with an important personal truth. These conversations may bring up fear or uncertainty, but they also offer a powerful opportunity to build trust and connection. These workshops help caregivers respond with empathy, confidence, and love—whether their child is exploring identity, coming out, or simply learning to navigate an often complicated world. Participants will gain tools to foster acceptance, protect mental health, and support authentic self-expression at every stage.
