We are creating problems and loneliness, isolation, depression for these youth. And so that's part of what we want to do within circle is help our community have better conversations, so that these kids grow up being okay with who they are and they don't feel like they have to hide a secret.
What if there was a place where young LGBTQ individuals could find support, understanding, and affordable therapy? In this episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', Maria Shilaos sits down with Stephanie Larson, the CEO of Encircle, to discuss how this remarkable organization is making a difference.

The episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of creating safe spaces where everyone can feel accepted and valued.
