When a young person comes out as LGBTQ+, especially as transgender or nonbinary, parents, caregivers, and other adults in their life may find themselves navigating personal emotions, interpersonal challenges, and societal barriers while learning how to best offer support. Out! and Into Open Arms, from NH Outright, is here to guide parents and others who care about LGBTQ+ youth through that journey. Every child’s coming out story is unique, and this series helps caring adults learn to lead with love, embrace the process, and feel confident in supporting a young person through this next chapter of life.  Hosts Jess Goff and Mark Belanger sit down with four families of LGBTQ+ youth to share real stories, insights, and guidance on how to walk alongside a child exploring their identity, and how to show up as the supportive caregiver that they need.
