Compton's Table offers AFFIRM - Queer Youth Support Group

Compton's Table has a new queer youth support group called AFFIRM. It is a CBT-based group to learn stress management and coping skills while connecting with other queer youth. There are two sets of online Zoom meetings being offered from August through October.

For youth ages 16 to 20 years old, there will be Zoom sessions that are an hour and a half long on Mondays from 6:00 to 7:30 PM, which runs from August 16th through October 11th.

For youth ages 12 to 15 years old, there will be Zoom sessions also lasting 1 1/2 hours on Sundays from 6:00 to 7:30 PM, running from August 15th through October 10th.

The goal of AFFIRM is to decrease unhelpful thoughts, feel better about selves and lives, and to make healthy choices for your sexual and mental health.

The group is open to anyone between 12 and 21 years old who identifies as lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, two-spirit, trans, nonbinary, queer and/or questioning your sexuality or gender. Pennsylvania residents are eligible.

What you get are coping skills training, the opportunity to meet other cool LGBTQ+ people, contactless care package delivery, and technology available by request.
