Learn about common challenges that LGBTQ+ young people face and ways that adults can support them.
In this virtual workshop, we will discuss identity development, conflicts with peers, and challenges with adults both inside and outside the family system. Youth are welcome to attend this workshop to share strategies that have worked for them and learn tips they could use to navigate these situations as well.
