Having kinder conversations

A session for parents/carers and family members of young people or specifically of LGBT+ people

 

Wednesday 7th May 8.00pm - 9.30pm at NNLS run by KeshetUK

 

KeshetUK hope to help parents/carers create safer spaces for LGBT+ people in their lives. Often these family members feel that there is a gap in their knowledge of LGBT+ topics or people tell us they feel afraid to say the wrong thing and hurt someone they care about. This session is offered to help close that gap and support kinder conversations.

Often, the most challenging conversations we need to have are with the people closest to us. The emotional stakes are often higher, and we worry about saying the wrong things or upsetting them. This can be even more difficult when talking across generations. The aim of this session is to give participants tools for having kinder conversations with young people about LGBT+ topics.
You can expect to:

  • Go over terminology and language around LGBT+ identities (including pronouns)
  • Practice having ‘kinder conversations’ with scenarios
  • Discuss commonalities and differences between the hopes and concerns of LGBT+ young people and adults in their lives
