Where to Turn to For Support For the LGBTQ Community and Their Loved Ones?

Our today's guest is Anthony Crisci, the Executive Director of Triangle Community Center (TCC) in Norwalk, CT. We will discuss LGBTQ concerns, and how his organization (TCC) supports this community. We will devote time to young people, who are coming out to their parents as well as other LGBTQ concerns.

TCC now has 3 ½ full time staff and has expanded its programs and services to offer case management, financial assistance and housing for its clients.
