SUMMARY:LGBTQ-&-A: Community Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Calling all LGBTQ+ prospective parents- especially our trans & non-binary parents-to-be! \nIn this LGBTQ & A: Community Conversation session we will be discussing strategies for self-advocating in fertility spaces. Too often\, as LGBTQ+ people\, we don’t have access to LGBTQ+ friendly and LGBTQ+ competent family building practitioners. This puts our community – specifically transgender and non-binary people – in a position of needing to advocate for ourselves and our needs while also being a patient and receiving services. During our time together we will be exploring how folks can balance self-advocacy and self-care. \nOur LGBTQ & A: Community Conversation sessions are interactive and a space for folks to come and listen\, but also engage and share their experience with the session’s topic. We hope you’ll join us! \nThis session is sponsored by California Cryobank. \nTo register for this event and receive log-in info\, fill out the form below:  \nOops! We could not locate your form. \nASL interpretation is available for this conversation. Please email us to request it!

SUMMARY:Emotional Connection in a Crisis : An Interactive Support Session with Dr. Bukky
DESCRIPTION:In the face of the current pandemic\, as people everywhere are feeling emotionally activated\, it is critical that LGBTQ+ parents know how to show up in difficult/emotional conversations with loved ones.\n\nThis begins with cultivating an ability to deeply listen with empathy and compassion\, keeping one’s own emotional balance\, and knowing what to do and not do in aims of being of service to our loved ones.   If you have ever had questions about how to respond in such conversations\, ever felt doubt about your capacity to be helpful/comforting\, or been criticized for being too focused on fixing\, this workshop is for you.  Dr. Bukky joins Family Equality for part 2 of exploring some basic skills LGBTQ+ parents can use for navigating emotional/difficult conversations.  This session will focus on exploring empathy\, empathy blocks\, and what it looks like to lean in with empathy.  We will answer questions like what does it look like to ”lean in” with empathy”? Is everyone able to feel empathy?  Dr. Bukky aims to offer simple\, concrete information to support you in cultivating your ability to show up for your family and friends in more emotionally attuned ways.\n\n*Note: Because this is a fully interaction session\, participants will be on camera and able to communicate with our presenter and one another.\n  \nFILL OUT THE FORM BELOW TO RECEIVE LOG-IN INFO AHEAD OF THE EVENT.  \nOops!
