LGBTQ Support Group for Teens

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). Occasional exceptions made for mature 13-year-old individuals. 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 Tuesdays from 5-6:30pm from January 9 – March 26, 2024.

Where

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

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.
