As students return to school, many LGBTQ+ youth in Fairfield County face challenges connecting with peers and finding safe spaces.

Kids in Crisis' Lighthouse program steps in to provide vital support. The program held its 2nd Annual Tea Dance event at the Foundation House estate in Greenwich, offering teens an afternoon of music, treats and fashion.

Proceeds from the event will directly benefit the Lighthouse program, fostering community through art, shared meals and discussions.

Lighthouse provides a crucial peer-to-peer social support network for LGBTQ+ youth, addressing the unique difficulties they face.
