How to Be an Adult Ally to LGBTQ+ Youth

The Hanna Institute equips and empowers individuals and agencies across the street, the region, and the country. From nationally-recognized training and credentialed courses to large-scale program partnerships, the Institute works alongside organizations and communities to break the cycle of trauma and create a healthier future for all. Contact us today if you are interested in learning about bringing Institute training to your organization.  

The Hanna Institute provides customized courses and engaging consulting services based on an organization's strengths, needs, and long-term goals for improving staff and client outcomes.
