LGBTQIA+ Resilience & Support in a Complex World

A 6-Month Virtual Journey Toward Self-Acceptance, Confidence, and Community

for High School and College Students

You deserve to feel seen, supported, and strong—just as you are.

In a world that often misunderstands or marginalizes LGBTQIA+ identities, showing up as your full self can feel like a daily act of courage. This course is here to remind you: you’re not alone, and you never have to do it all alone.

LGBTQIA+ Resilience & Support in a Complex World is a 6-month virtual support and growth group designed to help you navigate life’s challenges with more self-trust, peace, and power—surrounded by people who get it.

For High School & College Students

Support Shouldn’t Come With a Price Tag—Especially When You’re Just Starting Out.

We believe every LGBTQIA+ young person deserves access to affirming mental health tools, support, and community—regardless of financial barriers.

That’s why we’ve created a Student Sponsorship Program for high school and college students who want to participate in this 6-month course but may not have the means to cover the cost.

Whether you’re navigating coming out, dealing with family or peer rejection, facing discrimination at school, or just need a space where you don’t have to explain yourself—this program is for you.

 What You’ll Get

  • Full access to the entire 6-month course at no cost

  • A peer group that understands your journey

  • Support from a facilitator who sees you, hears you, and believes in your potential

  • Tools to build confidence, calm anxiety, and feel empowered in your identity
