Tuesday, May 9 at 7:30pm EDT: Listening and Capacity-Building Workshop with Matt Hilliard and Carina Reeves
The "Listening and Capacity-Building Workshop for Parents" offers practical tools and strategies for parents to support their 2SLGBTQ+ teenagers. The workshop will focus on developing active listening skills that promote understanding, empathy, and trust between parents and their children (and between parents!). Participants will also learn techniques to regulate their own nervous system to stay present and engaged during challenging conversations. Through using these approaches, parents will gain a deeper understanding of their teenager's experiences and develop the capacity to hold space for their emotions, fears, and concerns, and be able to support each other. The workshop is designed to provide a supportive and non-judgmental space for parents to learn, grow, and connect with other parents who share similar experiences.

He helps men wake up to better relationships every day, through coaching and his men’s group AWAKE. He’s appeared on various podcasts and his writing has been published on Elephant Journal, The Men’s List and The Good Men Project.
