How to support your LGBTQIA+ family

[Iona_RO]

Hi Parents & Carers,

You may be aware of some distressing anti-LGBTQIA+ events taking place recently, and we wanted to make sure that both you and your teens are feeling supported. It can be upsetting to see these harmful views being aired publicly, and it is a really important time to check in on your LGBTQIA+ family. 

We have a range of resources that you may like to have a look at for support in open communication, available support services, and more information on the topic. Here are a few :

• Our list of LGBTQIA+ support services available for young people

• Our video on supporting your teenager through public debate

• Our articles on supporting teens with sexuality and gender

• Our event with Dr Kat who answers common questions from parents & carers on LGBTQIA+ concerns

• Our range of resources on how to communicate effectively with your teens

We'd love to hear your thoughts and tips too, so please feel welcome to share in a comment below!
