Sexual Assault Crisis Service Hosting LGBTQ + Youth Empowerment Group

The Sexual Assault Crisis Service (SACS) has announced that it is hosting sessions of a LGBTQ + Youth Empowerment group.

The organization says that,

Groups are open to any youth (21 and younger) self identifying within the LGBTQ+ community. A group for parents/caregivers/loved ones of LGBTQ+ youth will be held at the same time in a separate room at the same location.

Sessions are to be on July 15, 2019 on relationships and boundaries, on July 29th on recognizing stress and coping, on August 12th on trauma and on August 26th on self care.

The sessions for the Proud Families group that meets at the same time are to be on July 15th on relationships, dating and boundaries, on July 29th on family, school and community, on August 12th on stress, mental health and trauma response  and on August 26th on showing support.

SACS says, “Come to as many or as few sessions as you want, this is a free group.”

SACS says that, for more information or to sign up for the LGBTQ + Youth Empowerment group, people encouraged to call Rachal at (860) 225-4681 extension 266, adding that, “you do not need to confirm attendance to participate in this group but it is encouraged.”

Those seeking information or interested in signing up for the Proud Families group are encouraged by SACS to call Lindsey at (860) 225-4681, extension 209.

The Sexual Assault Crisis Service says that it,

a program of the YWCA New Britain, covers a 43-town region – all of Hartford County, part of Tolland County and the town of Plymouth. We offer assistance to sexual assault survivors and their loved ones. These services are critical after such trauma, helping victims and their families regain feelings of independence, optimism and hope.
