Parenting always has its challenges, and this free workshop is aimed at helping parents with those that arise especially for the LGBTQIA+ youth community.

By Melanie Hooks

The workshop, Parenting with Pride: LGBTQIA+ and Inclusivity 101, takes place on Thursday, June 11 at 4:30 pm at Jefferson Branch Library, 1500 E. Villa St., Pasadena, as part of the City’s Pride Month calendar.

You’re invited to a workshop led by Planned Parenthood Pasadena & San Gabriel Valley to reflect on health and social disparities that affect the LGBTQIA+ community and recognize that everyone deserves respect regardless of their identity or orientation. You’ll also learn how to use gender-neutral language and how to help youth feel safe.

For attendees ages 18+. To attend, sign up at CityOfPasadena.net/Library/Calendar.
