Safe Space is a show about subjects that are hard to talk about–a respectful forum for courageous conversations about difficult subjects in order to reduce stigma, provide education, offer hope and access to resources. It is a space for the in depth discussion of matters that touch hearts and yet feel risky to share; subjects that deserve, but rarely get, thoughtful consideration.

Little by little, they open minds and hearts.

Discussion questions for Teens:

* What was it like for you to hear these stories? What did you resonate with? What could you not relate to?
* Were there important parts of your experience that got left out? What are they?
* Who are the most trustworthy, and accepting people in your life? Make a list. Can you go to them when things are difficult? Do you? If not, why not, and is this something you can talk to them about?
