SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES, PARENTS, & CAREGIVERS

We're glad you're here. Whether your loved one is lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or you’re all still figuring it out, you are not alone. We're in this together.  We are building a year-round network of support, trust, love and acceptance for youth and families.

Contact LGBTQ Connection at 707-251-9432 or send us a message for more information about:

• one on one meetings with an LGBTQ Connection staff person for advice, resources, information

• counseling appointments for youth, parents, caregivers (or anyone who would like one)

• informational materials about gender and sexual identity (LGBTQ)

• booklets and research on how best to love and support our children even when we might not be fully comfortable

• workshops for parents, caregivers, family members or the community providers/professionals who serve families and youth about family acceptance and rejection

• referrals to other incredible, family-serving LGBTQ services

Also: guided by research from San Francisco State University's Family Acceptance Project, led by Caitlyn Ryan, PhD, ACSW, we know that a family's response to their child's LGBTQ identity has health implications for the rest of their life. To help families support the health and well being of their child, we produced a family acceptance guide, downloadable here:
