In recognition of Pride Month, the Center of Excellence on LGBTQ+ Behavioral Health Equity will be hosting a four-part webinar series on Supporting Native LGBTQ+ and Two-Spirit youth! Join us every week in the month of June for the following sessions:

• Embarking on a Journey: Where Have We Been?
• Understanding How to Support Tribal Youth
• What Do We Need to Embark on This Journey?
• Panel Focusing on Lived Experience

Each session will begin and end with a breathing exercise and acknowledgment of attendees tending to their own spirit. Attendees are encouraged to attend all four sessions to embark upon this journey of learning together.

Part 3: What Do We Need to Embark on This Journey?

Tuesday, June 20, 1-3 p.m. ET

This webinar is Part 3 of a 4-Part Pride Month series: Walking with Tribal Youth on Their Sacred Journey. This session will focus on respecting the journey for Native LGBTQ+ and Two-Spirit youth and also for their families. For youth, becoming who they are is a sacred journey, and parent and family support is crucial. Parents may need support in working through grief or other complicated emotions in their journey to support their young person. Differences in western ideas of healing versus those used in tribal communities will be discussed, including ideas around supportive practices. Tools for supporting both youth and their parents will be shared, along with ways to educate friends and family on how to best support youth. The session will begin and end with a breathing exercise and acknowledgment of attendees tending to their own spirit. Attendees are encouraged to attend all four sessions to embark upon this journey of learning together.
