This inclusive group welcomes everyone who identifies as queer or supports the LGBTQ+ community. Let's come together, share our experiences, and support one another.
The Queer Discussion Group provides a safe space and learning environment for LGBTQ+ individuals and/or their allies. It provides individuals the opportunity to freely and confidentially express their concerns without fear of judgment, misunderstanding, or abuse. The group is led by a peer facilitator, and specifically is NOT a counseling or therapy group.
Our group sessions will be somewhat structured to provide a safe and supportive environment, but they will also grow organically to meet the needs of our attendees. Each meeting will be facilitated to ensure everyone has a chance to share and connect.
We hope the online format will help those who are unable to attend in person for their own reasons. Whether you want to discuss LGBTQ+ issues, share personal stories, or simply connect with like-minded individuals, this group is for you! This group is for 18+ only.
📅 When: Every other Wednesday, starting on August 14th
🕡 Time: 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM
💻 Where: Online via Google Meet
