Registration: Elevate Program's Mental Health Process Group
Our Elevate Program's Mental Health Process Groups are intended to create a safe space for LGBTQIA+ youth, young adults, and allies ages 18-26 to talk about mental health, create healthy relationships with peers, and learn tools to understand, manage, and decrease symptoms of mental illness. Participants will learn to develop coping skills needed to manage symptoms on a long-term basis. The group environment can provide not only support but also validation in the challenges that exist due to being the LGBTQIA+ BIPOC Community.

As of April 2026, we offer one process groups that are geared towards ages 18-26:
  • OUTlet (Ages 18-26) Tuesdays 7:00PM-8:30PM: A nurturing and affirming space for LGBTQIA+ young adults to explore mental health concerns, discuss coping strategies, and build sustainable skills for long-term wellness through peer support and evidence-based strategies. 
To join, complete a short interest form. A staff member will reach out to schedule a 15 minute Zoom orientation to review orientation to review group guidelines and ensure a good fit before participation. 

Please feel free to share this process group to LGBTQIA+ youth or young adults 18-26 years old who might benefit from mental health support:  bit.ly/elevate-mh-groups 

Interested in individual therapy? Our Elevate Program also offers 10 free sessions of individual counseling for LGBTQIA+ youth and young adults (12-26). Services are provided in a trauma-informed, affirming space and can support youth and young adults with concerns such as anxiety, depression, academic stress, relationship challenges, substance use, and exploration of gender and sexual identity.
