Rainbow Connections offers dynamic support to meet the needs of rural lgbtq+ youth
Activities and Services Offered
Services offered include weekly support groups. We will also provide one-on-one counseling sessions, family, education and support, and drop in hours for community building and discovery. Additionally, we provide psychoeducational workshops on identity discovery, resilience, emotional regulation, and relationship building. To build a sense of belonging and pride, we host a variety of events such as art therapy classes, book clubs, and educational sessions to understand the history of the LGBTQ+ movement. Check our calendar regularly so you don’t miss out on these exciting opportunities. Special events will be held semi-regularly to encourage community participation, acceptance and crisis prevention. All of our support programs and events are rooted in cultural humility and LGBTQ+ affirmative practices (Murray et al, 2023).
****In order to ensure accessibility for all participants and volunteers, transportation stipends available to help support attendance for in-person services and community events (Graves et al., 2024). 24/7 operational chat lines are accessible for participants at any time for immediate, confidential non-crisis support, even in off business hours (Thompson et al., 2018).
