The presenters, specialists in teen behavior, gender identity, and sexual orientation, can help you learn to talk with your LGBTQ+ teen about critical topics including sexuality, dating, and safe sex. There will be time to ask the presenters questions as well as to meet with other parents in small groups for disucssion.
