This event is open to the entire Medical Center and will feature a panel of VUMC employees who parents or caregivers of LGBTQ+ youth answering questions submitted by their VUMC colleagues. People interested in attending are also encouraged to submit their workplace appropriate questions about being a parent or caregiver for a LGBTQ+ youth that they’ve always wondered or have been afraid to ask.
