A Comprehensive Resource for the Adirondack North County LGBTQIA+ Community
Navigating life as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community can present unique challenges, especially in regions where support and resources may be limited. Recognizing this need, we have curated a collection of services, organizations and information designed to empower and uplift every individual across the diverse spectrum of gender identities and sexual orientations.
Whether you’re seeking affirming healthcare providers, safe spaces for social connection, educational resources, or support in navigating legal rights, we are here to help. We not only to offer practical assistance, but also to foster a sense of belonging and community pride.
Some of the informational resources we provide include:
Events
From the Transgender Day of Visibility to the Adirondack North Country LGBTQIA+ Pride Ski Weekend, we have many events that you can participate in and support.
Suicide Prevention
Discrimination, rejection, and lack of support contribute to feelings of isolation and hopelessness, making suicide prevention efforts critically important.
Etiquette
Whether youโre a friend, family member, colleague, or ally, embracing LGBTQIA+ etiquette demonstrates your commitment to equality and acceptance.
Training
We offer interactive workshops, seminars, and consultations, teaching language, how to implement best practices, and affirming policies for your work place environment.
Flags Guide
Our LGBTQIA+ Flags Guide will allow you to explore some of the most prominent LGBTQIA+ flags and their meanings, celebrating the diversity and resilience of the community they represent.
