Taking the step to come out to family and friends can be a very stressful time and support from loved ones makes a world of difference. As we celebrate Pride Month, C89.5's latest Coping 101 podcast explores Gender Identity and Coming Out, with insights from Drs. Amy Curtis and Matt Goldenberg of Seattle Children's Gender Clinic. Listen and learn as students in Nathan Hale High School's Radio program address how to use the right pronouns, where to go for LGBTQIA-centric resources, understanding and affirming your own sexuality and how to best support someone in your life who is coming out.

Coping 101 is an ongoing series that destigmatizes mental health from a teen's perspective, made possible by Seattle Children's and Crisis Connections with local support from Carter Subaru, Hansmire Builders and Audian.

No matter our age or background we all face challenges, and there are healthy ways to cope. Get started with more episodes and vital resources hosted at c895.org/coping101
