Prism is a free support group, which meets bi-weekly.

PRISM: Like the bright and varying colors of the rainbow refracted through a prism, the Alyssa Burnett Center’s participants are

vibrant and diverse. This bi-weekly virtual support group is a safe place for LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer,

questioning, intersex, asexual and other nonconforming genders and sexualities) participants to discuss their experiences, share

stories, and ask questions.

We recognize that some LGBTQIA+ individuals experience discrimination, prejudice, and bias. These experiences can have a negative

impact on a person’s mental health. It is our hope that LGBTQIA+ individuals find Prism to be a safe outlet for them to discuss these

challenges and find community with their peers. We will discuss any challenges that the participants wish to process; we will also

celebrate our differences and our diversity. This is not a therapy group, but it is intended to be therapeutic in nature and participants will have a safe space to discuss their experiences. We believe that connection with peers will improve the lives of our LGBTQIA+ participants. Together, we will RISE.
