LGBTQIA 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ TEEN GROUP - NOW ENROLLING!

LGBTQIA+ Allies Youth Coping Skills Group: 

A great place to connect with peers & build coping skills

This group is for queer teens and any ally looking for an uplifting community and positive vibes! Many (if not most) teens feel alone and misunderstood, and queer teens in particular are at risk of lacking a supportive community. Join us Wednesday evenings for fun activities centered around reducing stress, increasing emotion regulation skills, and self-acceptance, self-compassion, and empowerment. Our goal is for teens to leave this group with an awareness of their values, recognition of their many strengths, and an assortment of coping skills. The heart of this group is its safe, affirming environment. Bring your big emotions, wear comfy clothes, and come prepared for some exploration! 

This 8-week group is designed for youth ages 12+. This group is open to all seeking a safe and affirming place to learn to accept authentically you.

Specifically this group will help youth:

• build community in a safe, affirming environment

• increase ability to handle those tough emotions and make room for the more fun feelings.

• learn all the best ways to reduce stress

• learn and practice self-acceptance, self-compassion, and leave with empowerment skills.

This group is open and we will accept donations. We want all who need this group to attend, and you may attend for FREE or pay what you can! The suggested price for this group is $10, but please see all the group payment options we have for you when you register. thank you.

You can reserve your teens spot below. Once registered a member of the Texoma Specialty Counseling team (either May Chinn, Stephanie Waitt, or Malorie Malone) will be reaching out to you to schedule a one-time consultation with you, your teen and the group therapist May.

This session is to get to know you, your teen, and explain more about how our group can support you.

This is a one-time separate $35 fee and you will be emailed with next steps once registered (this is NOT a requirement to attend group but is HIGHLY recommended) and this consultation fee is NOT due at this time.
