Parenting can be challenging, especially when navigating the complexities of the LGBTQIA+ world. Lifescapes Counseling Associates is addressing this by offering a webinar on June 27, allowing parents to ask questions anonymously. This event aims to provide guidance and support to parents of LGBTQIA+ children.

The webinar, presented via video in an interactive Q&A format, features licensed mental health professionals Julia Bernards, PhD, LMFT, Meredith Drake, MEd, LCMHCA, and Amy Moulds, MEd, LCMHCS. It will cover child development, identity development, gender dysphoria, and family acceptance while offering parenting strategies for healthy relationships.

The ACCESSlifescapes Webinar Series hopes to reach a broad audience with timely psychological topics. Practice Director Amy Moulds emphasizes the importance of providing low-cost access to real-time professional advice, noting the commonality of many parenting concerns.

Participants can register and submit questions privately, ensuring anonymity and privacy. The secure webinar format allows for peer support and validation. Previous webinars are accessible online, covering various psychological and behavioral issues.
