Open Hearted Parenting

Open Hearted Parenting is a small therapeutic group for parents and carers of LGBTQ+ young people. It offers a confidential space to reflect, feel less alone and stay connected.

The group is not about changing young people. It is a space for the adults who care about them. A place is offered following an informal discussion with the facilitators.

Please use the group website for the current practical information and email route.
