A word from the client:
"To our parents, you have often reminded us that knowledge is the key to life and advancement. We tell you today that knowledge is also the key to acceptance... Come, let us introduce to you a topic you haven't seen from our perspective, issues, and subjects you haven't discussed freely with other people who share similar experiences with you.
Dear mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters of the LGBTQIA+ community in Lebanon, we welcome you to join Helem's Family Support Program. A group of family members just like you who come together and in the presence of specialists in sexuality and family support to talk about gender and sexuality, acceptance, and methods of supporting your child. Our goal is to provide you with accurate and credible information and to assist you in understanding your children without stigma or shame."
