Join Luca Valentine for an interactive and timely virtual presentation on supporting gender independent, non-binary, and trans (GIaNT) youth right now.

In a world where many families are feeling overwhelmed by today’s political climate, Luca will provide caregivers with practical, immediate steps to offer essential support to their children.

This 90-minute session will focus on ensuring the emotional, physical, and legal safety of GIaNT youth. Luca will share valuable tools and knowledge to empower caregivers in protecting their children, fostering a supportive environment, and standing as allies in times of uncertainty.

This program is for caregivers of all kinds, including parents, grandparents, foster parents, teachers, and any adults who support or wish to be informed allies of GIaNT youth. Following the presentation, Luca will host a Q&A session to address questions and provide further guidance.

To submit questions in advance, request accommodations, or for more information, please email LGBTQfamilies@jccgb.org.

This program is presented by JCC Greater Boston and the UU Church of Haverhill, in partnership with Jewish Family & Children's Services, Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters, and Keshet.
