Help & Resources For
A Struggling Child

Help for parents and families affected by a child struggling sexually.

What has my child just said?
What has just happened in our family?
What has just happened in my world?

Things seem instantly to be turned up-side-down and inside-out when a child announces that he or she is joining the LGBTQ+ world or is intent on changing their sexual identity. Or perhaps you’ve just found out that your child has been secretly viewing pornography for the past few years, despite your efforts to protect them. Perhaps as a parent you will question your parenting, your sanity, your faith, your God. You are surprised, shocked, frightened, confused. You will wonder if there is any help in it all. Please know that the Gospel of Christ has hope and answers for you (and for your child). This page is dedicated to resources that speak to your heart and your situation.
