BLOOM

Grow, Nurture, Heal

Bloom is a program with the goal of Building LGBTQ+ Affirming Organizations and Opening Minds. Part of Bloom falls under the training program; however, the specific focus with Bloom is on LGBTQ+ cultural competence training with school personnel/counselors and other adolescent mental health providers in Spartanburg, Greenville and Anderson counties. On the clinical side of things, BLOOM provides free group, individual, and family therapy to LGBTQ+ youth and their families. Registration is required for this group.

BLOOM GROUP SCHEDULE (biweekly):

Ages 11 - 14: Wednesdays: 6-7:15pm

Ages 15 - 17: Wednesdays 6-7:15pm

LEAP

Lead, Empower, Advocate, Protect

A program designed to bring peer support to the trans community. Transitioning of any kind brings excitement as well as lots of questions surrounding the process. Access to Peer Support Services reduces mental health symptoms, increases resilience and links folks to services they otherwise may not know about. LEAP is no-cost and fully funded by grants and donations. This is an open group. No registration required.

AFFIRM SC

Educate, Equip, Affirm

We believe in supporting and nurturing safe spaces for professionals within and outside the health and human services field to learn and grow in their understanding of cultural competency, diversity, and inclusivity. Funding donated to support raising up organizations that see and meet the needs of the LGBTQ+ community will be utilized to provide these trainings at no cost to non-profit organizations, schools, churches, and companies that cannot otherwise afford but desire change.

To date, AFFIRM SC has trained close to two thousand individuals and dozens of companies.
