Program Description
Description
Are you a parent, family member, caregiver, teacher, service-provider or friend of an LGBTQ youth? Did you know having at least one accepting adult in their life reduces the chance of a suicide attempt by 40 percent? Join us for this informal panel discussion led by members of the Norwalk Chapter of PFLAG and Anna Burns, Community Educator from the Triangle Community Center. Panelists will be taking questions, discussing their own experiences, and offering advice on how adults can become supportive and accepting allies for LGBTQ youth. Registration is required.
Presenters: PFLAG is the nation’s largest family and ally organization, uniting people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) with families, friends and allies.
