The Pillars of Self-Care and Positive Mental Health for GLBTQ Gifted Youth

The Pillars of Self-care and Positive Mental Health for GLBTQ Gifted Youth

Saturday, November 11, 2023
8:00 AM – 9:00 AM East Coast USA Time
Location: Coronado T
GLBTQ adolescents are strong, courageous, persistent, yet scared and alone. Everyday life is an ongoing dilemma of whether to fully express oneself and walk a solo path. Given the magnitude of the challenges facing GLBTQ gifted youth, supportive adults must help them acquire skills of daily self-care through monitoring their health and well-being holistically.

Learning Objectives:

  • Fully grasp the severity of the challenges facing gifted GLBTQ youth.
  • Realize the importance of recognizing, respecting, and responding to one's whole self in order to establish and maintain congruence, vitality, inner security, and stability.
  • Develop and teach a toolbox of perspectives, skills, choices, and affirmations for GLBTQ gifted youth to help them progress towards positive self esteem and personal care and well-being.
