LGBTQ2IA+ Families: Parenting with Pride

Everyone is welcome to join us for LGBTQ2IA+ Families: Parenting with Pride, a free national virtual conversation series designed to support parents and caregivers raising children in LGBTQ2IA+ families. 🌈

The season's theme is Practical Skills for Advocacy, Wellness, and Change. Across the conversations, participants will move from navigating difficult conversations to caring for themselves and their families, sharing their stories with intention, and finding power in community and collective action. By the end of the series, participants will be able to:

• Identify and engage in community-based pathways for sustained action and support
• Communicate effectively with schools, providers, and family members under pressure
• Recognize and respond to the mental health impacts of chronic stress and discrimination
• Use their lived experiences strategically for advocacy and leadership

Our 60-minute conversations are on four Wednesdays, May 6 & 20, and June 3 & 24, from 5–6 pm ET / 2–3 pm PT.

• May 6, 2026 – Pride in Every Word: Practical Communication Tools for Difficult Conversations
• May 20, 2026 – Pride in Our Well Being: Supporting LGBTQ2IA+ Parents and Caregivers Amid Systemic Stress
• June 3, 2026 – Pride in Our Stories: Using Lived Experience to Advocate, Connect, and Lead
