    NVPAC General Meeting - TOPIC: Why Every Parent Needs LGBTQ+ Awareness
    Apr 24, 2019
    07:00 PM - 09:00 PM
    5th Floor, Education Services Centre, 2121 Lonsdale
    Do you think LGBTQ+ awareness and understanding is something you already have, or don’t need? Did you know that 1 in 5 BC students identify as not exclusively heterosexual? If that’s not your kids, it’s your kid’s friends... or your friend’s kids! Has your child or teen ever felt excluded or isolated? Isolation is difficult for anyone, but LGBTQ+ kids face this at home, at school, and in this neighbourhood. Let’s work together to build communities and homes that welcome diversity and discover how compassion and connection benefit every child and every parent.
