Maria (she/her) came into Casa Q as a step-down from the Kaseman Stabilization Crisis Unit after a suicide attempt. Maria recently came out as trans and has been struggling to connect with her family, who are very religious, so the Casa Q Program Director created a solid support plan for the entire family.
In the short time Maria has been in Casa Q, she completed her GED, got a job at the movie theater next door, and started her new clinical program at “Awake and Aware.”
The family has started their trans 101 education and support parent groups to begin their healing process together. Casa Q is saving lives and providing hope to young people and entire families in our community.
