My child just came out. What do I do now?

In two Hebrew episodes with therapist Sarit Ben-Shimol, whose clinic sees not only LGBTQ+ people but also their parents, siblings and partners, the podcast talks about "the parents' coming out": the question "who can we tell?", family reactions, and tips for families of LGBTQ+ people. The episode about Beit Dror says it is meant for parents of LGBTQ+ kids too, and that there is no single right recipe for coming out. (Episodes in Hebrew.)
