LGBT+ Family Workshop : language, stereotypes and scenarios (and a space to ask us anything)

We know that so many important conversations happen at dinner tables, school gates, playgrounds and in passing.. we want to support as many people as possible to be able to confidently represent and advocate for the LGBT+ community in these scenarios. To support this, we’re hosting a series of workshops for members of LGBT+ families to learn more about the community, what language to use, how to be an ally and how to handle different situations. LGBT+ families come in all shapes and sizes, and you might be: a person who is/was planning a family through adoption, fostering or IVF, a person who has had children (even if they are now adults), a person who is a close support network of an LGBT+ family, a person working with families and children, or an ally wanting to stay informed. It is a space to make mistakes, learn, bring your questions, share your own knowledge, and generally connect with others who are or have been on similar journeys.
