It's one thing to accept your queer teen, and quite another to be a true ally. Queer teens need to know that you not only support them but that you will actively advocate for them. But it's not easy to know how if you don't have experience with this.
This is why I invited Jennifer Boudrye, a queer allyship facilitator, to the podcast to discuss the importance of allyship in supporting LGBTQ+ youth. Jennifer emphasizes the need for compassion, awareness, respect, and empathy (C.A.R.E) in navigating the complexities of queer identities and offers practical advice to parents of queer children.
Topics discussed include:
How parents can effectively support their queer children
The significance of setting boundaries with family members
Resources available for both parents and teens.
Common mistakes parents make and the importance of community support.
