LEARN ·2023 Grants ChallengeIntrospection: Free Mental Health Support Program for Queer Young People Experiencing Housing Insecurity
Introspection is a ten-week program that addresses the uneven impact on Black and Brown queer youths that are experiencing houselessness due to the War on Drugs. As part of this program, our community center offers (1) free drop-in mental health support via drop-in gender affirmative therapy and (2) a peer-led support awareness group to provide a safe space and person to speak to about their challenges. This encourages youths to reflect on and cope with their feelings rather than to engage in substance misuse.
