Healing Out Loud
Our Mission Statement: To make available a path to healing to those
who are stuck in loss and grief through empowerment and education.
Healing Out Loud is committed to developing educational and
counseling programs for everyone from young ones to adults. We are
bringing a message of hope: hope for GLBT individuals that their
families may still come around, and hope for families who are
struggling to accept what is true for their GLBT family member that
they are not alone. Nobody should have to suffer hatred simply for
being born. That's what we are here to change. Visit their website.
