TEEN LGBTQ & ALLY Group (Shift Well Therapy Joins Good Nature Empowerment Center)

TEEN QUEER & ALLY NIGHT We seek to bridge the gap between queer identifying teens and their support system. Show up together, then get your individual needs met. The TEEN GROUP will focus on exploring queer identity, coping with stigma around queer identity, navigating the coming out process, how to communicate effectively about aspects of identity with loved ones, how to navigate safety concerns, and more. The ALLY GROUP will focus on queer education, such as LGBTQIA+ terminology, how to support the queer community, navigating a loved one coming out, how to communicate effectively and kindly with the queer community, and more. Allies include parents, caregivers, friends, siblings that are of teen age and older, and others that have a queer loved one they want to support. This is a place to learn, where there is no stupid question or judgment. We all start somewhere! The two groups run at the same time!  Wednesday's 5:30 p.m.-7:00 p.m
