Parent With Love

We are a team of healthcare providers, researchers, parents, filmmakers, and advocates who create evidence-based tools to support parents with LGBTQ+ children. We are currently recruiting parents and teens for some of the projects we’re working on. Learn more about how to access our resources and to get involved below! 

Lead With Love

Lead with Love is a 35-minute film created to provide support, information, and guidance to parents after a child comes out as lesbian, gay, or bisexual.

PATHS

Parents and Adolescents Talking about Healthy Sexuality (PATHS) is an online toolkit designed to help parents communicate with their gay and bisexual sons about HIV and sexual health. 

Research

We conduct research to make sure all the resources we offer families are supported by strong science. Click here to learn more about opportunities for parents and teens to participate in our studies.

Lead with Love is a guide for parents.  It’s sensitive.  It’s emotional.  Check it out!

My son came out to us about a year and a half ago. Hearing the news provided both relief and some angst and pain. Lead with Love is the best thing I have seen or heard about how to be a good parent to a gay child.  It is a resource I will use again and again.

PATHS was so good. It was such a relief to have someone prompt me to have these conversations with my son, because it’s the sort of thing I knew I should do in my head, but I just needed a push.  There was so much relief in knowing we could talk about sex and condoms, and we were able to have some very fruitful conversations.
