Gender & Sexuality

The Child Mind Institute's "Gender and Sexuality" resource centre page is an informative collection of articles dedicated to providing valuable insights for navigating the complex terrain of talking with kids about sex, sexuality, and consent. Covering a broad spectrum of essential topics, this webpage acts as a vital guide for parents, educators, and caregivers seeking to better understand and support young individuals in their journey of self-discovery.


Through a collection of expert articles, personal stories, and educational materials, the webpage offers a nuanced exploration of various aspects related to gender and sexuality. The platform equips readers with tools to initiate meaningful conversations with children and teenagers about sex, sexuality, healthy boundaries and romantic relationships, emphasizing the importance of open dialogue and providing a safe space for young individuals to express their identities. It also delves into understanding, supporting, and advocating for transgender and non-binary youth, addressing the unique challenges they may encounter and offering strategies to create inclusive and affirming environments. Furthermore, it sheds light on the experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals and what they need from their parents and families, to foster acceptance, resilience, and mental well-being.
