Clinical and Peer Support
Our Post-Tragedy Response for Inclusion and Diverse Equity team of clinicians and peers are here to support the LGBTQ+ community and anyone impacted by the Club Q tragedy by offering support and services at no cost. Services are offered in-person or through telehealth, and include peer specialist support, counseling, substance use disorder treatment, and psychiatry referrals.
Peer specialists are those with lived-experience who can walk alongside you as you identify and work through struggles you may be having with relationships, work, daily functions, sleeping, eating, and other irregular patterns. They are also able to assist in connecting you to resources, which may include housing, healthcare, food, and more.
Our team of licensed clinicians are trained to treat trauma and specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community.
We are a partner with Prism Community Collective.
