Support

We know support sounds incredibly broad – it is. Support will look different for every LGBTQIAA2S+ person. Ultimately, this step is just making a commitment to be your child’s trusted adult and embracing them as they are. This can be shown by

• looking for warning signs which may indicate they need mental health support
• using supportive language and gestures when talking with them
• standing up for your child when they experience bullying or mistreatment
• connecting them with LGBTQIAA2S+ organizations and support if desired, especially healthcare resources if needed
