Joy as Resistance is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting hope and joy for LGBTQIA2+ youth ages 10-24 in Colorado. We offer mental health counseling services for youth and their families, mentorship through our program, “Big Queer, Little Queer,” and a variety of consultation services via our school partnerships. The most unique aspect of our organization is our mobile mental health clinic, “Joyride,” a retired ambulance converted into a space for healing and community. Our mobile clinic travels around Denver to meet youth where they’re at physically, and works to eliminate transportation barriers youth face in accessing services.
