Going Public: Ways To Protect Families when/if they are Outed
Workshop Description
"Going Public" can look like a lot of different things for a lot of different people. Sometimes it's intentional, but sometimes it's not. When you, your child, or your family are "outed", it can feel disorienting and scary, but it doesn't need to. This workshop will offer advice to families on how best to protect your privacy and safety when/if you are ever outed, or choose to go public with your story. Don't be caught off guard! Have a plan so you can be prepared - just in case!
