Supporting LGBTQ+ Youth Mental Health During Pride Month and Beyond

As discussions surrounding discrimination reach peak relevancy this Pride Month, it’s important to be aware of the inequality that has been a primary issue for teens and young adults in the LGBTQ+ community for decades, and continues to be a pressing issue over 50 years after the Stonewall riots.

LGBTQ+ Mental Health Programming

At Visions Treatment Centers, we offer unique LGBTQ+ mental health programming specifically for adolescents in the LGBTQ+ community. LGBTQ+ teens face unique issues, and because there are widespread worries about being misunderstood or mistreated, many in the LGBTQ+ community are wary to seek help from anyone outside of the community.

At Visions, we do not condone nor tolerate “reparative” therapy. We fully recognize the legitimacy of all gender identities, and the unique struggles LGBTQ+ teens go through due to the stress of dealing with a lack of critical information, bullying, and lack of acceptance in the community.

"It was amazing how the therapists gently guided the entire group (parents and kiddos) to look at and be curious about family dynamics by neutralizing the “emotional charge” and allowing us all to explore and take an honest look without shame and blame. In that process, the therapists created the space for us to realize the striking similarities that we all shared. Seeing that our families had more in common than differences. It was a group shift. We all felt anxious, isolated, and alone throughout the weekend, and we felt very connected, supported, and hopeful. It was a very special weekend. I recommend it to everyone if they get the opportunity."
