Parents’ Group Workshop

PARENTS OF LGBTQIA+ CHILDREN FORM A SUPPORT GROUP

A facilitated workshop in Mumbai marks the first decisive step of the parents’ support group.

For the first time ever 10 parents of LGBTQIA+ persons came together for a closed-door parents’ support group workshop that aimed to share experiences and also chart out a future course of action.

Organized by Solaris Pictures, as part of its ongoing engagement with LGBTQIA+ community and parents, for its upcoming feature film Evening Shadows, the workshop was structured and moderated by social development consultants Alpana Dange and Pallav Patankar.

The main objective of the workshop was to develop strategies for a cohesive parents’ support group that would help each other, help other parents who may need information or peer-to-peer counseling, and also to be a visible group in the media and society.
