Join the Youth Well-Being Team for the December edition of their monthly Project THRIVE webinar series, “Othermothered: The Importance of Chosen Family During the Holidays.”

The holidays can be hard for everyone, especially for LGBTQ+ youth who often have to navigate being around their family while masking their identities. Attendees will hear from a panel of “gay parents” aka othermothers who will provide tips on how to support youth during the holidays and beyond and ways to connect them with mentors who may become “gay” parents. Attendees will leave this webinar with an understanding of why these mentors are so important to LGBTQ+ youth and a new understanding of how to support the young people in their lives.
