Q is for Questioning - Skills to Support LGBTQ+ Youth (TWO-PART, HYBRID)

Join Denver Family Institute for a two-part, free and hybrid workshop to build skills to affirm and support queer youth in your life!
About this Event

Navigating a world that isn't always kind to queer youth is a significant challenge for young people, and we recognize that it can be equally trying for the caregivers who love and support them. Q is for Questioning is here to support you.

Q is for Questioning is a workshop series designed to help trusted adults create more affirming environments for and relationships with the LGBTQ+ youth they care about. Workshops are facilitated by a licensed mental health professional and peer with LGBTQ+ lived experience. If you're not sure yet how to feel about the LGBTQ+ community or the identities of youth in your life, we welcome you.

Attendees can expect to:

• Discuss terminology and concepts relevant to the LGBTQ+ community
• Discover strategies, skills, and approaches to be an affirming adult
• Explore the role and importance of support in LGBTQ+ youths' lives
• Gain a community of other trusted adults and resources to utilize past the workshop

The workshops will be interactive, so come prepared to have conversations, ask questions, and build community with other folks who are trying to create more affirming and accepting spaces for LGBTQ+ youth. We ask that attendees commit to attending both workshops if able. Part One is August 12th and Part Two is August 13th.
