Mentor Training: Existential Helping: A Holistic Approach to Supporting LGBTQIA+ Youth

"Facilitated by Nia Clark, participants will review and practice using Existential Helping an evidence-based framework that has proven effective with marginalized  communities, including LGBTQIA+ youth. Through interactive activities, learn how to demonstrate empathy instead of sympathy, how to "hold space" for youth who have experienced anti-LGBTQ discrimination and other forms of trauma, along with interventions that empower youth to have ownership of their own healing as they transition to adulthood."
