About Us

Q Chat Space's goal is to help LGBTQ+ and questioning teens (13 to 19 years old) find community and connect with peers in a supportive environment that encourages them to feel pride in their identities & increases their mental well-being, all of which is too often missing from their lives. Although Q Chat Space is not currently hosting chats, in the past, we achieved this goal by providing live, chat-based support groups facilitated by trained staff/volunteers from LGBTQ+ centers across the United States.

Q Chat Space is a project of CenterLink in collaboration with PFLAG and Planned Parenthood.

Your Facilitators

Q Chat Space chats are facilitated by caring, trained, and verified facilitators. They are staff and volunteers from youth programs at LGBTQ+ centers across the United States. They are in the chats to guide the conversations and help if anything comes up.

Please be advised that Q Chat Space facilitators are not medical or mental health professionals and cannot provide crisis intervention. The facilitators may also be required by state law to make a report if you share that you are being abused (physically, sexually, or emotionally) or that you want to hurt yourself or someone else. If you are in crisis or need help immediately, please call 911 or use the resources available here.
