Synopsis: 
Seattle Counseling Service is a community resource that advocates, educates and serves to advance the social well being and mental health of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender communities.
Description: 

Seattle Counseling Service was founded in 1969 and is the first and oldest community mental health agency for lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgender persons in the United States.

The counseling service started as part of the Dorian Society in Seattle, later expanding to become an independent organization. It began in a rented house, with a telephone and several volunteers, who were ready to answer the phone, talk with people who dropped by, and offer counsel and support.

SCS was licensed as a mental health center and has provided services to our community since 1974. Among the programs pioneered by SCS, the Domestic Violence Program (started in 1982) provides intervention to persons who perpetrate violence in same-sex relationships.
