We Are Family: Supporting LGBTQIA+ Families Webinar

February 7 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

 

 

 

 

 

Now more than ever, LGBTQIA+ families are holding the stressors of the political climate along with the joys and fears of parenting. In this webinar, we will learn together about the experiences of LGBTQIA+ families in the perinatal period and how perinatal professionals can provide more inclusive care. There will be facts (health disparities!), fiction (common myths!), fun (strengths and strategies!), and food for thought (resources and next steps!). Attendees will come away with concrete examples of how they can incorporate LGBTQIA+-affirming care into their work.

Date: Friday, February 7, 2024

Time: 12pm-1:30pm PST

Cost: FREE

Location: Zoom

Presenter: Lara Hayden, MSW, LICSW
