The LGBTQ Support Group is a new program from Gateway, in partnership with the Lansing Association for Human Rights (LAHR), that aims to help Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning youth between the ages of 14 and 17 in the Lansing area. LGBTQ youth are often at higher risk for homelessness, family conflict, and bullying than their peers, making Gateway's LGBTQ Support Group an integral part of our services for youth.
Overseen by Gateway's Adolescent and Family Therapist Amanda Dubey, and run with help from interns and volunteers, the group will meet every Tuesday afternoon from 3:30 to 5:00 and features guest speakers, field trips, art therapy, and other fun activities. The group will also meet at different locations depending on the discussion topics, making for a dynamic and fun experience. Topics to be discussed include:
How Do I Sign Up? To sign up for the group, you can call Gateway at (517) 351-4000 and ask for Amanda Dubey, or email her at adubey@gatewayservices.org. You can also call and ask any additional questions that you have about the LGBTQ Support Group or any other Gateway services. |
