Individuals working through sexual orientation issues often experience feelings of separation, isolation, and fear. Talking about these feelings in a supportive, culturally sensitive environment helps develop positive self-esteem and a strong identity.

Counseling helps members identify and manage such issues as: “coming out,” children and adults living with HIV/AIDS, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relationships, medication management and side effects, workplace issues, communication, living with HIV/AIDS, and grief and loss.
