Is your child’s school truly safe for all students? For LGBTQ+ youth, safety can’t be assumed; it must be advocated for.
In this powerful and practical episode, Heather breaks down what school safety really looks like for LGBTQ+ students, and what happens when it's missing. From book bans to anti-LGBTQ+ legislation to silenced teachers, the current climate is putting queer students at risk. But it’s not hopeless. Parents, educators, and allies can make a difference with presence, persistence, and a clear plan of action.
Press play to gain the tools, scripts, and mindset you need to advocate for inclusive, affirming school environments where every LGBTQ+ child feels protected, seen, and celebrated.
