Tell Me More: A session for adults supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ youth.
On Tuesday night, February 25, we created a safe space to combat loneliness and despair. Almost thirty people listened in community and shared stories of support, concern, and love during Tell Me More: A session for adults supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ youth. A big thank you from your Affirm team to all our amazing Fairlawn supporters, volunteers, Toronto Police Services and our Toronto Pflag partners. We couldn’t do it without you. ❤️❤️❤️

Join us for Tell Me More: An information session for adults supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ youth
Fairlawn Avenue United Church’s Affirm Ministry and Toronto Pflag are partnering to host Tell Me More: An information session for adults supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ youth.
We invite you to join us at Fairlawn on Tuesday, February 25 at 7:00pm for this introductory information session for parents, caregivers, educators, and other adults who care for and about queer and questioning youth.
The session covers key 2SLGBTQIA+ language and concepts, inclusive parenting, and how to prepare for and/or handle the coming out conversation. Our goal is to help attendees support the queer youth in their lives by providing basic, accurate information and creating a safe space for questions and conversation.
Toronto Pflag offers caring and nonjudgmental support to Toronto’s 2SLGBTQIA+ community and their families.
Fairlawn is a welcoming safe space for all who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ and their loved ones and has been an Affirming church since 2015.
