LGBTQ Support Group for Teens

Teen LGBTQ Support Group

 

Who: Teens ages 14-17 who identify as LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, genderqueer, non-binary, pansexual, and other identities along the spectrums of gender identity and sexual orientation). 


What: A group for LGBTQ identified and questioning teens. Group members will have a safe space to explore their identities, create community, and just be themselves. Group topics are: healthy relationships, coming out, gender exploration, talking with parents, and other topics that group decides upon.

When: June 19, 2018 - September 4, 2018 (no group during week of July 4th and July 17th). Group is 10 weeks in length. At the end of the 10 week group, teens have the option to be done with the group or register for another 10 weeks. Ongoing enrollment can continue on an open-ended basis, so long as therapist and client agree to continued enrollment.

Where: Sentier Psychotherapy

Why: LGBTQ individuals are at increased risk of mental health issues, substance abuse and addiction, and certain types of trauma. Additionally, LGBTQ youth have limited access to adequate mental health care and supportive services. This group aims to provide the support that is often lacking for LGBTQ teens.
