Two small cohorts. Real talk. Art, community, and tools that actually help. Built for teens who want space to breathe, be seen, and build something real.
A prism doesn't create the spectrum — it reveals what was always in the light. PRISM creates affirming, research-backed spaces where young people build wellness, identity, and real community — before crisis.
Summer 2026 cohorts are focused on LGBTQ+ teens and allies. Future cohorts will serve additional communities — stay connected.
Sessions are built on the curriculum from Feelings Unplugged — a framework for emotional literacy, self-expression, and identity developed by Dr. Erica L. Tartt.
"Identity is not a risk factor. Suppressing it is."
Feelings Unplugged · Dr. Erica L. TarttEmotional literacy — learning to name, understand, and move through what you're carrying.
Space away from performance and pressure. Come as you are — no explanation required.
Art, movement, writing, voice — every format counts. Say what words alone can't hold.
Leave with tools, community, and a clearer sense of who you are and what you're building.
