Pride in Our Well Being: Supporting LGBTQ2IA+ Parents & Caregivers Amid Systemic Stress
May 20, 2026 at 5:00 pm
In partnership with Brazelton Touchpoints Center, and as part of their Family-to-Family Real Talk Program, Equality Florida is leading a FREE national webinar series—LGBTQ2IA+ Families: Parenting with Pride—a virtual conversation series designed to support and uplift parents and caregivers raising children in LGBTQ2IA+ families across the country.
The season’s theme is Practical Skills for Advocacy, Wellness, and Change. Throughout the series, you will build skills to navigate difficult conversations, care for yourself and your family, share your story with intention, and find power in community and collective action.
Building on the importance of communication, this panel discussion centers the mental and emotional wellbeing of parents and caregivers. Supporting LGBTQ2IA+ children amid social, cultural, and systemic pressures can affect mental health in meaningful ways, especially across intersecting identities such as race, ethnicity, disability, immigration status, and faith—but those same identities can also be powerful sources of strength, meaning, and protection. The panel reframes mental health as an act of pride and intentional care for both parents and their children.
In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, our panelists will share both lived experience and professional insight, offering meaningful guidance for parents and caregivers seeking emotional healing that honors the fullness of their identities and unique family journeys.
