SUMMARY:Existential Helping: A Holistic Approach to Supporting LGBTQIA+ Youth
DESCRIPTION:Supporting LGBTQIA+ youth who have experienced marginalization requires more than interventions—it requires presence\, humility\, and the ability to sit with uncertainty. Existential Helping is a relational framework that centers meaning-making\, autonomy\, and authentic connection\, helping providers respond to youth experiences without minimizing\, fixing\, or rescuing. In this interactive webinar\, participants will practice using Existential Helping to strengthen one-on-one engagement with LGBTQIA+ youth. Through guided reflection and experiential activities\, participants will learn how to demonstrate empathy rather than sympathy\, “hold space” during difficult conversations\, and support youth in exploring identity\, values\, and purpose amid racial and anti-LGBTQIA+ trauma. \nParticipants will leave with:\n• Skills to deepen trust and connection through presence and curiosity\n• Techniques for holding space without problem-solving or pathologizing\n• Practical tools to support youth agency\, self-definition\, and meaning-making
