Build Community Among Parents
Create a welcoming and consistent gathering where parents feel understood,

connected, and less isolated. Research and other groups show that connection and shared experience are central to effective support group outcomes.

Enhance Parental Confidence and Parenting Skills
Provide space for practical discussion of parenting challenges, coming-out

processes, gender-identity topics, navigating school or healthcare systems, and everyday issues in queer family life.

Provide Resource Awareness and Navigation
Share vetted local and national resources (education, mental health, legal,

healthcare, social services) to help families navigate both LGBTQ+-specific and general parenting challenges.

Affirm and Celebrate LGBTQ+ Identities in Families
Promote positive, strength-based narratives about queer families and the lived

experience of raising LGBTQ+ children. This includes normalizing diverse family structures and identities.

Support Emotional Well-Being
Offer a confidential setting where parents can process stress, acceptance journeys,

relational tensions, and the joys of parenting within and alongside LGBTQ+ identities.
