LGBTQ Safe Space

LBGTQ Safe Space

YOU ARE NOT ALONE, WE ARE HERE TO HELP AND SUPPORT YOU!

For gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer people the coming out process can be both difficult and liberating. For most people it takes time to know who you are. It is okay to be confused, or to be uncertain about whether or how to come out. Remember, you are not alone. There are many others with the same questions and concerns that you have. There are also people and organizations that can support or mentor you. It’s important to find the help you need from the resources available to you.

Please talk with a trusted adult/staff member and/or directly email the Student Wellness Coordinator (Misty Bonta) to get additional assistance on what resources and support will be the most helpful for you.

Below are some resources that may be helpful for you on your journey.
