“Honesty, it was great. Everyone respected my pronouns and the groups were really focused on my needs. We were like family.”
“Polaris was so much better than the other hospital I went to. I came to Polaris for the same reason I went to the other hospital and they never helped me like you all did. I really think this place has been helpful. I’d recommend this place to anyone struggling and who identifies as LGBTQIAA+. I feel accepted here as the boy I really am.”
“I feel that Polaris made a huge difference and had me think about my future goals. I love that it was so positive. Polaris gave me a lot of comfort and support.”
