Helping LGBTQ+ Clients Navigate Holidays & Family Gatherings
Recorded Ask Our Experts Session
Holidays, weddings, funerals and other family gatherings can be challenging times for LGBTQ+ people. It is a time when they may traditionally get together and engage in family and religious rituals. For LGBTQ+ folk whose families are not affirming, it may mean making a choice between being with their family of origin, being with a family of choice (friends and loved ones), or being alone. This Ask Our Experts session features an interactive panel discussion about some of these challenges and will debut the launch of a newly developed tool to help clients plan for a safe, happy and successful visit with their family.
