Last week our young adults engaged in competitive cupcake crafting. After an intense morning of group therapy, they deserved a fun, social and tasty outlet. Check out the creativity! Our young people are so talented. #creativeminds #havingfun

In lieu of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we want to take a moment to recognize Intimate Partner Violence. The reality is that many of our young people have "already" experienced abusive behaviors in the form of physical, emotional, psychological, and/or sexual abuse while dating. The statistics below are staggering. #thisisnotok Intimate Partner Violence can cause trauma and victims may experience symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that can impact the rest of their lives. #intimatepartnerviolence #datesafe #trauma

Like many other minority communities, the #LGBTQ community struggles disproportionately with mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. This October, we honor LGBT History Month and voice our support as a #safespace where LGBTQ+ people can better their #mentalhealth without the fear of being treated differently.
