There are many resources on line to help parents.

We are currently building more services for parents and families of LGBTQIA+ members.

Below you can find links to helpful resources as well as groups for in person support. Both our Affinity Group and Coffee With a Queer will provide safe spaces where you can openly discuss and ask questions without judgement.

Johns Hopkins Medicine - All parents want what's best for their kids. But providing support isn't always easy — especially if you are the parent of a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or questioning (LGBTQ) child. In many ways no different from their peers, LGBTQ youth face some unique challenges that parents often feel unprepared to tackle. This article provides tips for parents.

Family Acceptance Project - Research from the Family Acceptance Project® shows that families play a critical role in contributing to serious health risks & promoting well-being for LGBTQ young people.Learn about how family behaviors affect your LGBTQ child’s health risks and ways to reduce risk and increase support.

Healthy Children - Provides parents with responses and information about common phrases that teenagers use when they are exploring their sexual orientation.

A Guide To Gender Identity Terms - Issues of equality and acceptance of transgender and nonbinary people — along with challenges to their rights have become a major topic in the headlines. These issues can involve words and ideas and identities that are new to some.That's why we've put together a glossary of terms relating to gender identity. Our goal is to help people communicate accurately and respectfully with one another.
