Are you a parent or caregiver to a 2SLGBTQI youth 16 and under?

Affirming adults are vital for supporting 2SLGBTQI youth as they encounter discrimination and as a parent or caregiver, you have an important role to play in supporting them.

Egale Canada is launching a new program - Affirming Adults Supporting 2SLGBTQI Youth.

These free, online training sessions will help parents and caregivers learn more about 2SLGBTQI youth, mental health, gender and sexual diversity, and introduce practical strategies for creating affirming and supportive spaces. 

All parents and caregivers with 2SLGBTQI youth 12 and under will be automatically enrolled in the process of evaluating the training. The research component* (short surveys and optional focus groups) of the program will gather findings to contribute to the evidence base about "what works" to support safe family and caregiver relationships with 2SLGBTQI youth.
