ADVOCACY TRAINING

Mama Dragons is partnering with powerful advocacy organizations across the country to facilitate a series of educational opportunities that will teach how to have courageous conversations in all the places where decisions are made that impact our LGBTQ+ families. 

Not a mother of an LGBTQ+ child?

While our online communities, Paper Hugs and Wrapped in Hugs are only for mothers of LGBTQ+ children, we invite you to participate in the Parachute eLearning platform and QPR Suicide Prevention training, which is open to all parents and community members surrounding LGBTQ+ children, including teachers, therapists, and extended family.

You can also volunteer for Mama Dragons or become a bracelet maker for Embracelets.
