Our Director of Clinical Services, Kenneth Mize, recently shared important insight on the current challenges facing the LGBTQ+ community—especially in light of recent developments regarding the LGBTQ+ Crisis Line.

As an agency, we remain committed to being a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for all. One way we do this is through our Compass Group, which provides support for both LGBTQ+ teens and adults on their journey toward healing, connection, and self-discovery.

Our Vision Statement:
Come as you are and leave as you want to be. ❤️

If you or someone you know is in need of support, you are not alone. We’re here for you.

"It is setting the stage for more LGBTQ+ discrimination across the country."
