it all starts with…
It all begins with one conversation.
Over the past several months, the Your Place CT team has had the privilege of joining the incredible youth of Our Piece of the Pie’s Piece Out group for ongoing conversations that matter. What began as one vulnerable dialogue—filled with shared stories, honest questions, and real challenges—sparked a commitment between us and the youth to help shape OPP into a space where every young person feels seen, respected, and safe.
Each month, we come together to explore LGBTQIA+ topics, build awareness, and strengthen allyship. These sessions aren’t just about information; they’re about connection. They’re about creating a culture where youth can show up authentically, where staff and caretakers feel supported, and where families have access to the resources they need.
From that very first conversation, we made a pact: to hold this space with intention, compassion, and respect. And every month, that promise grows stronger.
Because real change—lasting, meaningful change—always starts the same way.
With a conversation.
