If my child is being harassed in school, what can I do as a parent?

The best thing you can do is support your child. In addition, call the school and ask to speak to their Gay/Straight Alliance (GSA) advisor. The GSA advisor will be able to connect you with the best person to speak with at the school. If you’re child’s school does not have a GSA, ask who the best faculty member to speak with would be. For further support, contact Out 4 Good (Mpls) or Out for Equity (St. Paul). If you are still experiencing difficulty or are outside of the metro-area, please call us at 651.340.6167 for assistance.
