LGBTQIATS+ youth deserve mental health professionals who are prepared to provide informed, affirming, and culturally responsive care.

Recent national data found that 36% of LGBTQ+ young people seriously considered su***de in the past year, including 40% of transgender and nonbinary young people. One in ten reported a su***de attempt.

This September, during Su***de Prevention Month, The Healing Project of MN is hosting JAC Stringer for Integral Mental Health Skills for Serving LGBTQIATS+ Youth, a two-hour virtual professional development training.

Attendees will explore foundational language, cultural competency, tools for macro and micro practice, and strategies for becoming stronger allies to LGBTQIATS+ youth.

Early bird pricing ends August 14.

A New Look for a Growing Organization

Over the past few years, The Healing Project of MN has grown in ways we never imagined. As we've expanded our programs, partnerships, and community impact, we wanted a logo that better reflects who we are today.

While our look has changed, our commitment remains the same: advancing mental wellness, strengthening communities, and increasing access to behavioral health services across Minnesota.

Our new logo represents more than a new look—it reflects the continued growth and evolution of The Healing Project of MN. As our organization continues to grow, we're excited to share new initiatives, partnerships, and opportunities in the months ahead.

To stay connected, subscribe to The Counseling Couch, our monthly e-newsletter featuring mental wellness resources, educational content, community updates, and upcoming events and opportunities. Visit our website to sign up: www.thehealingprojectmn.org

Thank you for being part of our journey. We look forward to what's ahead.

Juneteenth is more than a day of remembrance, celebration, and reflection on the enduring pursuit of freedom, justice, and equity. It is an opportunity to recognize how history continues to shape our communities and to recommit ourselves to fostering healing, belonging, and opportunity for all.

As a trauma-informed mental health agency, we recognize that healing does not occur in isolation. Our individual and collective well-being is shaped by the systems, histories, and communities that surround us.

In observance of Juneteenth, The Healing Project of MN will be closed on Friday, June 19, 2026. We encourage our community to take time to reflect on the significance of this day and the ongoing work of building a more just and equitable future.

We will reopen for regular services on Monday, June 22.
