LGBTQIA+
At Campbell Teen and Family Therapy, Inc. (CTFT), our theory has always been that one should not be judged based on their race, their religion, their gender or their sexual orientation. There is a high correlation between depression, anxiety and suicide in the LGBTQIA population and LGBTQIA youth are especially at risk. Risk of emotional abuse, predators on the internet, judgment, hate crimes and they often live-in fear of what will happen when they come out. Those that are out may only be out to certain people and have to hide it from others, creating a state of constant anxiety. Being an adolescent is difficult enough, an age where you don’t know who you are and are insecure.
