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
