Valley Pride is a community event now in its third year, brought together by five Tri Valley organizations committed to justice and inclusion. It celebrates and supports the local LGBTIQ+ community through speakers, films, a resource fair, and opportunities for solidarity. Families are welcome to enjoy live music from high school choirs, children’s art, visiting animals, and more. The event takes place on the lawn at the Community Center, where attendees are encouraged to bring picnics. Local businesses will also be on hand offering special food options to purchase.

During this event, Cole will present Talk Therapy for First Timers — a session designed to help attendees and parents understand the potential benefits of therapy for LGBTQIA+ individuals, navigate how to get started, and have their questions about the process answered.
