As young adults, family relationships have a huge impact on how we see the world. In this clip, The Dorm Clinical Supervisor Mat Elder, LICSW, explains how it's important to enter family therapy with an open heart andf self-compassion as you begin to dismantle systems that may not have served you in the past (and hold onto the ones that did!). This is especially true for clients exploring their gender and identity. At The Dorm, up to 30% of our clients identify as trans, and groups like Transgender Nonbinary Process Group, as well as parent coaching and intensive family therapy, help our clients and their parents redefine how their relationships will look as they grow and emerge into adulthood.

🌈 Despite growing investments, significant gaps remain in meeting the behavioral health needs of LGBTQ+ and ethnic communities. Research from Mental Health America shows many still struggle to access culturally competent care, compounded by stigma and a lack of inclusive resources. While telemedicine offers a promising solution, the question remains: Are these populations receiving the support they truly need? At Prevarian, we're committed to ensuring these communities are part of the ongoing conversation about mental health. https://buff.ly/3xdT72u #BehavioralHealth #CommunityImpact #MentalHealth #HealthcareInnovation
