We provide a Mental Health Check-In day once a week on a virtual platform for LGBTQ+ youth, young adults, and parents who are struggling with mental health issues, such as anxiety, suicidal thoughts, depression, and more.

We offer safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth, young adults, and parents to connect with their peers who share similar experiences and provide support for each other.

 Our educational workshops provide youth, young adults, and parents with practical tools and supportive spaces to learn, grow, and thrive. Topics include literacy development, mental and emotional wellness, gardening and nutrition, résumé building, and essential life skills.

We also offer workshops that address real-life experiences, such as coming out, building healthy relationships, navigating discrimination at school or in the workplace, and developing confidence and self-advocacy skills.

We organize events for youth, young adults, and parents to socialize, have fun, and build community. Events include movie nights, game nights, outdoor activities, and activities for "detoxing mind, body, and spirit."

We will refer you to a lawyer who provides free legal services to LGBTQ+ youth and young adults, including name and gender marker changes, immigration assistance, and discrimination cases.

 We welcome everyone to join us in supporting our mission to empower and strengthen nonprofit organizations working to advance health equity and address health disparities in Detroit’s most vulnerable communities.
