Our latest webinar series for parents is designed to help you accompany your child, encourage them, and celebrate change while guiding them through challenging times. Join us as we explore the topics of sexuality prejudice, bullying, and transitioning to high school during this session. Tuesday, January 30, 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm Making Schools Safer for 2SLGBTQIA+ Students (for parents) Walking through the hallways of a school, one can often encounter queer and/or transphobic behaviour, whether it’s name-calling, hurtful language, or bullying. In this workshop, we will demonstrate the work that CAEO does in schools so that parents can learn, ask their questions and also talk about how parents can support the queer and trans kids in their lives.
