Coping 101

Families are complicated, whatever they may look like. On a mission to help families heal and understand one another is Dr. Anthony Pennant - Marriage and Family Therapist, Faculty member at Antioch University and Director of A Place for Us online therapy group. In addition to specializing in Structural Family Therapy with emphasis on LGBTQ+ youth and their families, Anthony practices Socially Just Therapy - a way to understand and normalize the spectrum of social identities and how they impact a person's life. In this episode our students uncover all sorts of practical tips for improving family dynamics especially when intersecting stigmas are a factor.
