Greetings! The All Children - All Families team hopes you’re finding time for some rest and relaxation this summer. This month HRC is marking Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Mental Health Month, formerly recognized as Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. This is a time to recognize the particular urgency of addressing all forms of discrimination that affect our queer and trans BIPOC communities and connecting LGBTQ people with needed resources. Tune in to our 5th annual panel discussion on mental health in QTBIPOC communities tomorrow to learn more. Details below.

Join ACAF on August 4th at 2 PM ET for “Traditionally Religious AND LGBTQ-Affirming: How Social Workers Can Help Families Be Both,” our final webinar of the 2021 series. For some families, their religious beliefs seem directly in conflict with affirming their child’s LGBTQ identity. Social workers, clinicians and other providers can help families negotiate the journey in ways that support their values and their children. This webinar will feature social workers who successfully balanced their own religious beliefs with their professional responsibilities and offer participants strategies for use in their work and in their personal lives.

Tomorrow at 6 PM ET HRC is hosting our 5th annual panel discussion on mental health in Queer and Transgender, Black, Indigenous, People of Color, or QTBIPOC, communities. The panel is moderated by ACAF's Associate Director, Jean-Phillipe Regis, and will focus on the importance of prioritizing wellness and mental health. Learn more.
