We are deeply saddened to learn that the Pride Institute, a sanctuary since 1986, is shifting away from its LGBTQ+ centered residential treatment in Eden Prairie.
For nearly four decades, Pride has been a beacon. A place where LGBTQ+ individuals could find safety, understanding, and healing. That legacy matters.
For the last 13 years, Breathe, like many others, has witnessed what a lifeline Pride has been, a refuge where community members confronted addiction, trauma, and mental-health challenges in a space created for them. So many lives were touched, changed, and even saved.
Closing the residential program isn’t just a shift in services…it’s the loss of a sanctuary. Our community feels this deeply.
We honor all that Pride built, and Breathe remains committed to supporting every person in need of a safe place to recover.
An LGBTQ-centric residential treatment center in Eden Prairie is shifting its business model, leaving some worried about a gap in services for a marginalized community.
