If you or a loved one is facing challenges related to sexual or gender identity it is important to know that there are community resources, including counseling, that are designed to support you. Individuals who identify as a member of the LGBTQ community face many unique challenges that can be felt not only on an individual level, but a societal level as well. For example, The LGBTQ community experiences dramatically hire rates of drug abuse, anxiety, depression, PTSD, suicide, and homelessness. Whether you are navigating relationship problems, coming out, low self esteem, addiction, identity confusion, it can be very beneficial to work with a counsellor who has education, training, and experience working within the LGBTQ community.
