| Support Group for Parents and Gaurdians of LGBTQ Youth Ages 13 - 20 |
 |
| It's not easy raising any teenager. Parents of LGBTQ teenagers have the added challenge of managing their conflicting feelings about homosexuality and figuring out how to support their child's development into a healthy adult. PFY's Parent/Guardian Support Group provides a general discussion and forum to: * Educate parents * Encourage better parent - teen communication * Help parents better understand the needs of their children * Help parents feel less isolated * Provide a safe place for parents to share some of the challenges they face raising a gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or questioning child. The group meets every other Tuesday from 7 - 8:30 pm. Refreshments will be served. Contact Maureen Ferrante, MS at (516) 679-9000, ext. 125 for more information. |

| Creative Arts Groups |
| Looking for a place to learn more about yourself and the LGBT community? PFY's Creative Arts Groups for young men and women provide a safe place to explore gay identity and manage the stress of being a LGBT teenager. Artists of all levels are encouraged to join. In fact, all you need is a willingness to try new things to join these groups. Contact Jose Saavedra for more information: (516) 679-9000, ext. 124 |

Ask about getting community service credit for your involvement. Contact Peter Perciavalle at (516) 679-9000, ext. 122 for more information |
| Individual Counseling |
| Sometimes talking to friends is not enough. If you are feeling depressed, even suicidal, you are not alone. If you are a LGBTQ young person between 13 and 20, you may qualify for free, short-term counseling with a professional counselor or social worker. We can help you get your life back on track. Contact Jose Saavedra at (516)679-9000, ext. 124 for more information. |
