Parents and carers

If your son, daughter, or any other younger family member has recently come out as L, G, B or T you might be wondering how best to support them or you might be looking for some support yourself.  

 

If you are looking for support or advice, then we would recommend that you speak with our partner, Parents Enquiry Scotland on 0131 556 6047

LGBT Youth Scotland primarily support young people, however in the course of doing this, we may be able to meet with you and the child or young person you care for together. If you are interested in talking to someone about this, please email LGBT Youth and someone will get in touch with you directly.
