The Annual LGBTQ Retreat addresses the growing need for mental health support and community connection within the LGBTQ population. Since its founding in 2022, the retreat has provided participants with access to wellness resources, peer support, and educational discussions focused on mental health, resilience, and self-care. Through workshops, group discussions, and community-building activities, the retreat creates a supportive environment where participants can openly address challenges related to mental health, identity, and social isolation. Participants leave with stronger support networks, increased awareness of available resources, and practical tools for maintaining emotional well-being. Funding support will allow the retreat to expand programming, increase accessibility for underserved LGBTQ individuals, and continue providing a safe and empowering environment where community members can heal, connect, and thrive.
