Transgender Support Group
The transgender support group has been going strong for several months. We have active members who have been meeting friends and connecting for additional support. The group uses a technique I am currently developing with the acronym SAVE. Support, Affirm, Validate, and Encourage. The group is a safe place to receive these vital and sometimes life-saving skills. Please contact me if you would like to participate in the Fall 2024 group or have questions. It is an open group and new members are welcome. I do request that members have a counselor in the community that they are active with.
Pet therapy will be part of YES Counseling in the Spring. At this time, Sophie Guglielmi is still in training for her certification and can be seen wandering around the office from time to time. She is a non-shedding, Mini Poodle who is very social, with an excellent temperament, and a great sense of style. She is, however, working on “not barking” to become a permanent member of our team.
