The 9 classes held over a 3 month period, feature one hour of sharing and personal attention to your individual issues and thirty minutes of teaching. A telephone bridge line connects all class participants (average of 12 parents per class). This is a powerful tool to increase your support network through friendship with other parents and help you build bridges with your SSA child!
Here is the story of one family: "When we found out about our son’s same-sex attraction, we felt so very isolated and didn’t know what to do. The mental health professionals that we consulted were kind yet offered no solution. We found Gay Children, Straight Parents on the Internet. This was the first ray of hope in our very dark, painful situation. Then we found your teleconferencing classes. We found other parents that also loved their children and felt helpless to help them. After the first class, I slept all night without waking up crying. My husband and I started talking and stopped blaming one another. My heart aches for those that are caught in this lifestyle and think that it’s inborn and unchangeable. This I know is a lie. Thank you from my heart." JL

Here is one recent comment from a support group participant:
Dear Hilde, “I felt compelled to comment on last night's session. Frank’s testimonial regarding his conversation with his son was like poetry and it just touched my heart. It was the conversation I long to have with my son. I know these words were well- crafted by you and I'm sure all of us wanted to thank for the wonderful and amazing coaching you give to us. I am so thankful for the love and energy you give to the entire group. Your work is so needed and may you never forget how much you mean to all of us who struggle to save our children. I will keep you in my prayers daily.” Yours, Betty.

Men amongst men! 
So needed and so rare these days that men can bounce ideas or gain substantial support from other men with the same values.
We are excited to have Kevin Barwick lead this group, a father and a man very experienced in men's issues and groups as a professional counselor.
Kevin uses books as a guide, and respects and addresses your individual issues as they surface.
We hope you will join us in this unique opportunity!
Starting July 2009
