Being Gay Doesn't Mean Being Alone!
AFFIRM is a peer based support group created to provide emotional support,
social opportunities, and health education to sexual minority teens
in the Greenville, South Carolina area. Our goal is to help prevent
the spread of HIV and reduce the rate of self-destructive behaviors,
including self-mutilation, drug abuse, and suicide in the GLBTQ
youth population, and to provide a positive environment for personal
growth.
Loneliness, isolation, and a lack of good information, are among
the biggest problems for GLBTQ youth. This website and social
networking pages (facebook, myspace, etc.) are an extension of our
weekly meetings. It provides a safe place online for our youth to
meet, find resources, and support each other.
