LGBTQ Connection offers year-round support for families with LGBTQ youth

We're glad you're here. Whether your child is lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or still figuring it out, you are not alone. We're in this together.  We are building a year-round network of support, trust, love and acceptance for youth and families.

Contact LGBTQ Connection at 707-251-9432 or send us a private message (http://lgbtqconnection.org/contact) for more information about:

  • one on one meetings with family staff for advice, resources, information

  • counseling appointments for youth, parents (or anyone who would like one)

  • informational materials about gender and sexual identity (LGBTQ)

  • booklets and research on how best to love and support our children even when we might not be fully comfortable

  • workshops for parents, caregivers, family members or the community providers/professionals who serve families and youth about family acceptance and rejection

  • referrals to other incredible, family-serving LGBTQ services like PFLAG Napa (Napa/Calistoga) and Out Proud Families

Guided by the latest in research from San Francisco State University's Family Acceptance Project, led by Caitlyn Ryan, PhD, ACSW, we know that a family's response to their child's LGBTQ identity has health implications for the rest of their life. To help local families support the health and well being of their child, we produced a Family Acceptance guide, downloadable here:

Thanks in large part to funding from Napa County Health and Human Services, all of what LGBTQ Connection provides is at not cost to the community.
