About the Program
Q is for Questioning is a series of three interactive workshops (virtual and in-person) led by licensed clinicians and community members. These workshops provide adults in the lives of LGBTQ+ youth education on LGBTQ+ identity and mental health. Participants receive tools and resources to better support and affirm the LGBTQ+ youth in their lives.
If you are an adult in the life of an LGBTQ+ young person, please know that you can make a world of difference. Join us at an upcoming workshop, in-person or virtually, listed below. To learn more or bring Q is for Questioning to your region, contact us at q.info@envision-you.org.
Why Q is for Questioning?
Due to stigma, discrimination, bullying, and other factors, LGBTQ+ youth are more likely to experience mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. However, you can make all the difference. Research shows that the prevalence of suicide for LGBTQ+ youth who have at least one affirming adult in their life is reduced by 40%. Well-supported youth are also more likely to thrive in school, work, and their relationships.
By working towards being an affirming adult, you can provide a safe space for young LGBTQ+ people to talk about their thoughts and feelings which can help the young person develop a positive self-image. You can also help LGBTQ+ youth navigate the challenges of coming out and living authentically. Supporting you in navigating the ins and outs of how to do this is where we come in.

All workshops will be hybrid, with in-person and virtual options available. In-person location will be shared with registrants only. Workshops will be facilitated by a licensed mental health professional, a peer co-facilitator, and a member of Envision:You's staff. These workshops are completely free to attend, and will be a JUDGMENT-FREE environment, so if you're not yet sure how you feel about the LGBTQ+ community or your child's identities, this is a space for you!
Attendees can expect to learn about the LGBTQ+ community, the challenges that LGBTQ+ youth are facing today, affirming language and relationship-building skills, resources available for you and LGBTQ+ youth, and helping with processing complicated feelings you may be having about the LGBTQ+ youth in your life. The workshops will be interactive, so come prepared to have conversations, ask questions, and build community with other folks in the region who are all trying to create more accepting and affirming spaces for LGBTQ+ youth. For any questions, please feel free to reach out to q.info@envision-you.org.
