Parenting with Pride

The ultimate LGBTQ parenting handbook, guiding parents and caregivers through transformative steps of Embrace, Educate, Empower, and Love so they can support their teen with open arms and hearts.

Your kid just came out to you, and amid the flurry of emotion or worry you might feel, you know you would do anything to protect their health and happiness. And you are not alone!

Heather Hester, coach, advocate, and host of the #1 rated podcast, Just Breathe: Parenting Your LGBTQ Teen, combines personal experience, professional research, and stories from other families to create a compassionate, practical guide for parents of LGBTQ+ teens.

In Parenting with Pride, Hester provides parents and caregivers with four transformations that gently, but purposefully, walk them toward fully supporting and loving their LGBTQ+ child: Embrace, Educate (or Unlearn), Empower, and Love.

With trustworthy information and an accessible, straightforward plan, Parenting with Pride provides actionable tools and mental shifts to help parents support their teens and themselves and to help them become a catalyst for change in their communities.
