Support for Parents: We’re Here To Answer Your Questions

This is a free, anonymous service for the parents and carers of young people who are LGBTQ+ or exploring their sexual orientation or gender identity. Type your question in the box below. Our Family Support Worker will reply to your questions and publish the answers on this page.

How it Works

This is a free service for the parents and carers of LGBTQ+ young people.

We will read every question that is submitted here. 

We will answer a selection of questions each week. 

If selected, your question and answer will be visible here within two weeks of asking. Please check back in for your answer. 

We won’t publish any personal information from your message.

These questions are anonymous. We do not receive any information about the person submitting the question.

We will not be able to answer every question. If your question is not responded to, it is likely because a similar question has already been asked and answered. Please take some time to have a look at some of the questions and answers here. We hope they will be helpful to you.

If you would like to speak with a member of our team about a question, or you have a family support enquiry, please get in touch with us via Family Support Service – Belong To – LGBTQ+ Youth Ireland we are looking forward to hearing from you. 

To get started, type your question in the box below:
