Youth Groups
Adolescent Gender Exploration Group
WHO: This group is for LGBTQ teens by LGBTQ therapists
WHAT: Our group is about three things:
- Social influence - how peers, friends, culture, social media tells us who to be and how to act. We talk about what it’s like when that doesn’t fit.
- Core safety networks - how we can stand tall in the face of messages that hurt us.
- Strengthening relationships and being resilient - sharing the ways life is hard and getting ideas of how to survive it. Understanding why we feel alone, let down, hurt, or rejected.
HOW: We learn a little, we listen a little, we share a little, we play a little, we eat a little, we practice a little.
WHY: Get support and practice things that help us feel like we are valued and belong.
WHEN: 13 session course - 90 minutes each
For caregivers, parents, teachers, and other grown ups: Our Gender groups are psychotherapeutic groups to support identity development, community connection, and improved well being.

RECLAIM’s BIPOC group is a weekly therapeutic processing group for individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color). The purpose of this group is to build community; process and explore intersecting identities, experiences, culture, and heritage; and commit to personal and collective healing.
