We will be offering a monthly LGBT support group for high school students and young adults starting in April.  

This group is for those who are primarily in their teens (or a bit beyond) who identify as (or are questioning about) Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Other.  A trained facilitator will invite participants to share joys, concerns,  ask questions, or just listen.  We believe in confidentiality.

We are still looking for a location, but we can say that it will be in the Lake Geneva area on a Wednesday, from 5pm-6pm.

There have been many requests to have a transgender support group.  We hope in the future to offer one.  In the meantime, those having trans concerns are urged to attend the general group meetings.  The facilitator is willing to stick around after the meeting to address trans-specific concerns of those having attended the meeting.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions/concerns.  If you have facilitated support groups and would like to help out, please let us know.

This year's PrideFest will be June 6,7, & 8.  It's not too early to think about volunteering to help at this great event,
