AFFIRM and DBT Skills for Youth

A 12-week group for LGBTQ+ Teens (13-18) 

AFFIRM is an 8 week group therapy intervention integrating identity affirmation and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that helps LGBTQ+ youth cope with the stressors of anti-LGBTQ+ attitudes.  AFFIRM has been shown to help reduce depression and increase hope in LGBTQ+ participants.  Our group facilitators have been trained in the AFFIRM model and love how this modality works in conjunction with DBT. 

DBT skills will be taught 4 weeks of the 12 week series to build additional resources for teens coping with intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Group starts Sept. 14, meeting online Thursdays from 6:00-8:00 pm.

Contact our intake coordinator at (408) 357-4575 or schedule a call on our Calendly to register or learn more!
