It’s been two successful weeks since @VEOHRC released the ‘Talking with your child about sexuality and gender identity’ booklet. Offering advice and practical tips for parents to support their families, the booklet can be found here: bit.ly/4lYKm5N #parenting

This booklet is for those who have learned that their child may be LGBTIQA+ or questioning. Parents and carers understanding, beliefs and opinions around sexuality and gender identity may vary greatly. It is a collaboration with the Raising Children Network.

@VEOHRC is proud to release ‘Talking with your child about sexuality and gender identity’. Supporting parents & caregivers to have good talks with teens and young adults about gender and sexuality, and to support them to be happy, healthy and safe. bit.ly/4lYKm5N
