Tri-County-based nonprofit We Are Family (WAF) is excited to announce its new ParentSpace program (bit.ly/3HCdyhn), offering local parents, guardians and caregivers of LGBTQI+ youth and young adults the chance to share interests, receive support and advice, and meet new friends. Facilitated by highly-qualified therapists and backed by support services, advocacy tools and networking opportunities, ParentSpace is designed to provide holistic assistance.

Meetings are 90 minutes and held twice a month- one virtual and one in person (TBD). Upcoming dates are February 5 at 4 p.m. (in-person) and February 21 at 7 p.m. (virtual).
