About Youth and Family Services
 
SunServe’s program for family and youth especially targets the needs of homeless and “at risk” gay, lesbian, and questioning youth. Guided by various ongoing community advisory groups, SunServe develops specific services to reach out to LGBTQ youth where they are, provide acceptance, understanding, mentoring and counseling to assist young people in realizing their full potential. That includes educating families toward acceptance of LGBTQ and questioning youth as well as intervening to reduce the harmful effects of family rejection on LGBTQ and questioning youth by providing a safe place for young persons to develop self acceptance and build life affirming skills. Services include:

Cooperation with other agencies to locate, train, and license gay and lesbian foster parents.
Support services for gay and lesbian foster parents.
Support and psycho-educational groups for LGBTQ youth.
Outreach to LGBTQ youth on the streets and in shelters.
Training foster care agency staff concerning the needs of LGBTQ youth.

NOTE:
There are no fixed fees for most support groups. We do encourage group members to give donations for their participation in these groups. These donations help pay for therapy provided to clients without income. A fee is sometimes charged for groups that have a fixed agenda and psycho-educational format. We call these "Therapy Groups." No one is turned away because of inability to pay that fee. Also refer to our Group Norms and Agreements for more information about support groups.
