Prism Counseling & Advocacy

Did you know Prism Counseling & Advocacy offers therapy services for over 360 community members? Over the past twenty years, Prism has provided life-changing, affirming care to LGBTQIA+ individuals and their families. As someone who personally benefited from quality, affirming mental health care, I know firsthand how crucial access to these services can be. For me, having that support made all the difference. Now, more than ever, our community needs that same understanding and care as we face an emerging mental health crisis. Prism, an agency run by our community, for our community, is committed to being a safe and supportive space. But we can't do it alone. In 2025, we need your support to continue offering these essential services. A donation of just $50 can cover the cost of a therapy session for someone who needs it. Even small, regular contributions of $5, $10, or $15 will help us reach our goal of raising $15,000 to sustain our work. Will you help us continue this mission? Every donation ensures we can keep supporting the hundreds of people who rely on Prism for individual, group, and family therapy. Thank you for supporting me, and for helping Prism make a difference in the lives of so many. 🌈 Donate here: tinyurl.com/prismalbany

As we work to find safety & liberation for our community in a time of increased violence and discrimination, it is clear that we are continuing our fight alone. Defunding LGBTQIA+ centers is a move towards inequity and is an act of violence as it removes funding from necessary community programs that offer so much to those they serve. Programs that save the lives of those who can utilize them. The bill revokes $3.62 million in funding for three LGBTQIA+ community centers in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, stating they have programs in place supporting communism, drag shows, and the administration of hormone replacement therapy to young people. As misinformation and purposeful misunderstanding spread we are being asked to again survive despite our government blatantly rejecting the liberation and wellbeing of our communities. This bill, along with the 674 anti-LGBTQIA+ bills that have been drafted this year to date, is violence against our community and highlights the belief that our voices should be silenced and our lives aren't valued. We cannot echo the words of Tandra La Grone enough and stand alongside our community to fight back against bigotry and hatred.
