Mama Dragons has partnered with Flourish Therapy to bring LIFT group therapy for parents. This program has been built to create a space for parents of LGBTQ children to express their emotions, increase their understanding of mental health issues related to their kids, and help them and their children develop coping skills and self-care techniques.
Each month will cover a specific topic relevant to parenting an LGBTQ child. In November we sold out of spots in our first group and had a strong turnout for the second.
We thank you for your support in launching this program and for creating affirming homes for LGBTQ folks.
