8-Week Therapeutic Support Group

The GLO Center is partnering with Beyond Healing to offer a new therapeutic support group for LGBTQIA+ teens ages 14-18. Join us every Friday from 6-7 PM, starting September 27th through November 15th.

This support group will provide a safe, open space for adolescents to explore their identities, find community, and develop healthy coping skills in a supportive and inclusive environment. Our goal is to empower young people to navigate the complexities of their developing identities and foster a sense of belonging and resilience.
