June 12 @ 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm UTC+0
In this 2 ½ hour workshop, participants will learn about the concept of “letting in” and how to respond when a child or youth shares their gender identity and/or sexuality with them. Strategies for supporting youth in their letting-in journey will be discussed and include how to prepare for conversations with other adults in the youth’s life. Registration in this workshop includes a 1-hour follow-up session in a group format, to discuss scenarios and become more familiar with strategies taught. You will be prompted to choose your preferred time frame for the follow-up session when registering for this workshop.
As a result of participating in this workshop, participants will
- recognize the impact of parental reaction to 2SLGBTQ+ youth sharing their identity
- list the approaches for how to respond when their child discloses their identity
- apply the strategies learned to navigate difficult conversations with other adults
