The Strengthen program is a vital addition to Publicly Private's mission to provide support and resources to the LGBTQIA+ community. By focusing on the mental health of individuals, the program offers group therapy sessions that serve as a safe space for members of the community to connect with others who may be going through similar experiences. In a society where LGBTQIA+ individuals are often marginalized, having access to a network of support and encouragement can make all the difference.
Strengthen's group therapy sessions are designed to help you build resilience, promote self-love and create a space for individuals to find healing from mental health struggles such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. Led by licensed professionals who are trained to address mental health concerning LGBTQIA+ people, these sessions provide a secure space for sharing experiences and processing emotions.
Through experiences, insights, and discussions with the likeminded, Strengthen provides a platform to hear from a diverse range of individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community. The sessions address common mental health concerns, such as self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, stress, and anxiety, and offer strategies for overcoming these challenges. By tackling these issues together, members learn that they are not alone and that they have the power to grow and heal as a community.
Overall, Strengthen aims to promote healing and growth while responding to the unique mental health challenges that are predominantly faced by the LGBTQIA+ community. It's a powerful tool for creating a positive change, and by empowering individuals mentally, we can build resilient, empathetic, and thriving communities.
