The Atrómitos Way Podcast

?? Seattle stands as one of the most LGBTQ-supportive and progressive cities in the country—a place where acceptance and community are a priority. Over the years, Lambert House has welcomed an increasing number of supportive parents who seek a safe, affirming space for their children. It’s incredible to see how this network of support is growing, especially as we learn that over 90% of the youth who visit Lambert House come with a simple yet vital goal: to find friends. This reinforces just how essential social connection is for LGBTQ youth—and why our mission to build these connections is so important. Want to make a difference? ??
