2016: Working Through Depression and Suicide Prevention

Session Description:

Those of us who experience same-sex attraction or non-traditional gender identity are at higher risk of depression or suicide ideation. Shame, lack of acceptance or validation, conflict between identity and faith, or conflict within our families may all be contributing factors. We will discuss effective processes aimed to help us and those we love manage issues leading to depression or self-destructive thoughts, and how to achieve a safe, healthy and positive frame of mind.
