A space that allows queer community members to gather in solidarity and support one another. Groups will be collaborative, participant-driven, and peer-run. Support provided will be non-clinical, and groups may be therapeutic, but are not replacements or substitutions for clinical mental health or medical care. Discussions will be organic, with supportive structures or prompts as needed by group members. Topics may include, and are not limited to accessing/navigating healthcare systems, emotional processing, experiences of oppression and marginalization, advocacy, queer history, intersections between queer and neurodivergent experiences, intersections of queerness and other identity factors, including race, disability, socioeconomic status, etc.
