24. Is This A Phase? The Power of Love and Acceptance for LGBTQ+ Youth - a podcast by Khia Glover
from 2022-06-28T07:00:50
It seems like more and more youth are taking on (or taking off) labels that maybe you're not used to hearing.
I was joined by LGBTQ+ advocate, Jennifer Boudrye, to discuss what is going on with our youth and how we, as the adults, can show up for them.
According to the 2022 report conducted by The Trevor Project, a widely known advocacy agency for LGBTQ+ youth, "73% of LGBTQ+ youth experience anxiety" and 58% of those youth experience depression.
Being aware that this is still a hot/taboo topic particularly when it comes to youth, this podcast episode is not to debate what is right vs. wrong. This episode instead is intended to give adults support, as well as additional perspectives in how to support youth who you may know that share with you they feel connected to this community in any way.
Whether you have a child who has "come out" to you or not and regardless of what your beliefs are I encourage you to listen to the entire episode with an open heart and mind.
If you would like additional support or have additional questions you can always reach out to Jennifer through her website, www.parentwithcare.co or Khia at www.notesbykhia.com.
