Prismatic parenting is a descriptor coined by the artist and healer Michaela Harrison to speak to the varied experience of parents in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Asexual, and Intersex (LGBTQ+) community. This workshop will give basic definitions, provide an understanding of the demographics of the LGBTQ+ parent population, and explore practices for including this community in early care settings. Participants will learn about the nuances of race, gender, orientation, and socioeconomic status in the family experience of prismatic parents by engaging in experiential activities and group discussions. Join us for this opportunity to consider ways to make prismatic families visible and thereby welcome in your early care setting. They have always been part of the human family, learn ways to show them they belong and are valued.
