QUEER AND TRANS WELLNESS CHECK-INS 

We want to support members of our LGBTQIA+ family by offering a check-in.

WHO CAN REQUEST A WELLNESS CHECK-IN?

Any LGBTQIA+ person who physically resides in the state of Texas.

WHAT IS A CHECK-IN?

A check-in is a brief opportunity (30 - 60 minute or less) to talk about your experiences during this time. It can be an opportunity to “vent” and talk about your new reality and its challenges. It can also be an opportunity to learn some concrete coping strategies you can immediately implement to deal with your situation. 

WHAT THE CHECK-IN IS NOT

This check-in service is NOT to be used for ongoing counseling services. If you need ongoing support, we will refer you to services at Out Youth or to one of our community partners. 

The check-in is also NOT designed for crisis intervention. If an emergency is in progress, please call 911. Please also refer to our mental health crisis resources. 

LIMITS OF CONFIDENTIALITY

The following are the limits of confidentiality. These limits apply to check-ins as you will be speaking with a counselor: 

  • Imminent harm in any direction. If you say you are going to hurt yourself or someone else. 

  • Abuse or neglect (current or historic) of a minor, elderly person, or someone who is living with a disability.
