LGBTQ+ Teen Support Group
Our LGBTQ+ Support Group is an affirming place for teens to explore gender identify, sexual orientation or gender expression without fear of rejection or judgement. Teens in this community who experience depression or anxiety have at some point experienced bullying, teasing and rejection, and likely feel like they do not belong to any group. They may not only have increased negative emotions, lower self-esteem and hopelessness, but also could experience an increase in suicidal thoughts and self-harming behaviors. Here, your teen is accepted and affirmed and is embraced as they explore their true strengths and gifts.
