June 24th and 25th we will have a 2 part support group for parents with LGBTQ+ parents led by @denisebrady_therapist . These sessions will be perfect for parents who would like to know more about their LGBTQ+ children and can connect with other parents who are experiencing the same thing.

Saturday, June 26th we will be having a very very special Pride Picnic for teens and youth called "Chillin' under the Rainbow" it will be a safe lowkey picnic with chill activities like planting, tie-dye, sound bathing, and yes... Picnic food. It is a soft alternative to parades and parties.
