High School LGBTQ Support Group

Who

Teens in grades 8-12 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). New group members can join quarterly.

What

This is a fun support 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 may include healthy relationships, coming out, gender exploration, talking with parents, and other topics that the group decides upon.

When

This group will meet on Thursdays from 4:00 – 5:30 pm from April 17 – June 19, 2025.

Where

Sentier Psychotherapy

670 Cleveland Ave. S.
St. Paul, MN 55116

Located in the Highland Park neighborhood above Highgrove Dental, next to CorePower Yoga, and across the street from Cecil’s Deli.

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.

How

To inquire about group availability or to enroll your teenager, please contact Ellie, our Client Care Coordinator, at [email protected] or 763.913.8261.
