Why Would An Educator Tell a Teen to Run Away from a Fundamentalist Home in Rural Arkansas? Author Chad Peevy Shares Why He Took the Advice, and How He Learned to Thrive

Chad Peevy knew early on that he didn't fit in. Not in his strict, Fundamentalist home. Not in his rural Arkansas town. Chad was gay, and had no one he could safely tell, and knew no one else like him. The result were feelings of isolation, hopelessness, and anxiety."Run away," he was encouraged by an educator at his school.And eventually, he did.Today, Chad is the founder of businesses, non-profits, and a popular speaker, and the author of Break & Untangle: Discover the Freedom to Be You Despite the Inherited Mindsets Holding You Back.You will learn:* Being rejected by family and the community can result in higher rates of mental health concerns and even suicidality in LGBTQIA youth. * There is hope and forgiveness if there is a willingness to reunite when families don't understand how to support their child as they come. Chad gives an example of what is needed.* Organizations and advocates like Chad that  give emotional support and information can make the difference between life and death for  LGBTQIA.To claim Chad's free book, go to https://chadpeevy.com/ Lizbeth’s links Support the podcast and Lizbeth's writing for $2 or $5 a month on Patreon HEREOR Buy Lizbeth a Coffee Lizbeth's memoir Pieces of Me: Rescuing My Kidnapped Daughters is now a TV movie, #Stolen By Their Father on Lifetime, now streaming on Roku, Vudu, Hulu, and Amazon Prime.Lizbeth's second book, Grounded in Grit: Turn Your Challenges Into Superpowers is available to order wherever books are sold!
