We welcomed Kelly Metzgar, Exec. Director of the North Country General Alliance to discuss the very current and sensitive issue of gender identity. Education and information, presented in a factual way, was presented as being key to dispel myths, improve understanding and create safe environments for individuals who are facing difficulties in the areas of acceptance and dealing with life's challenges in general. There are daily stories in the media presenting situations that are formidable and at times, tragic.
Kelly related details of her personal struggles and the focused work that she and her organization does in the North Country to help the LGBTQ+ community cope with the pressures and obstacles faced in trying to be productive and positive in daily living.
