LGBTQ+ youth support group
age 13-17 

...................Coming soon.....................

This is a virtual group, meets for one and a half hours weekly. Prior to joining the group, applicants are required to submit an application, undergo an interview with Jadivan, and arrange a virtual meeting to review the group's guidelines and conduct a technology test run.

This LGBTQ+ youth support group aims to provide a platform for support, experience-sharing, and friendship-building. Given the significant influence of social media and society on today's youth, and considering that this phase of life is crucial for identity development, it becomes imperative to foster a positive and supportive environment, especially in an era dominated by social media and distorted images that youth are exposed to.

The group, facilitated by Jadivan, follows a structured format: the first 20 minutes encompass ice-breaker activities and check-ins, allowing each youth a 2-minute window to share their week's highlights, engage in a fun ice-breaker, and discuss an area of personal interest for the day's session. Subsequently, the group collaboratively selects a topic for discussion, either through voting or pre-selection. Jadivan guides the topic discussion for 55 minutes, remaining attuned to the group's dynamics and adhering to established guidelines. The session concludes with a 15-minute mindfulness practice.

In addition to regular sessions, a fun activity will be held once a quarter. Examples of such activities include games, movie or show viewings, and participation in pride events
