As advocates for mental health and well-being, we believe in the strength that comes from sharing experiences and building connections. We are thrilled to share powerful stories highlighting the transformative impact of affirming adults in the lives of LGBTQ+ young people, specifically our staff members.
The power of affirmation is captured in Joseph's (he/him) story, where his scoutmaster emerges as a supportive adult who helped shape Joseph's journey. Joseph shared, "During middle school and high school, I was part of the Scouts program where my journey of self-discovery was most significant. The scoutmaster played a foundational role in shaping the person I am today."
The scoutmaster's encouragement to be authentic and embrace oneself became a guiding light, igniting Joseph’s passion for empowering others to embrace their identities and lead with distinctive perspectives.
These stories not only highlight the resilience of our community but also underscore the profound impact that affirming adults can have on the lives of LGBTQ+ young people. We invite you to visit our blog, where you'll find more firsthand accounts from our staff, showcasing the transformative power of affirmation.
