What to Expect
Our monthly LGBTQ+ support group is guided by a skilled facilitator who helps create a respectful, balanced, and welcoming environment for all participants. Conversations are thoughtful, supportive, and structured in a way that ensures everyone feels heard.
The group is peer-centered and community-focused, welcoming, a space to share or simply listen, and pen to parents, LGBTQ+ individuals, and allies.
Topics range from parenting trans and nonbinary children to questions about correct language to supporting each other through tough times and so much more. We have a diverse group of attendees from many different backgrounds and identities, so we hope you’ll feel safe at home like so many other people have over the decades this group has existed.
There is no pressure to speak. Many participants attend first just to observe and learn.
Confidentiality
We ask all participants to respect one another’s privacy. What is shared in the group stays in the group.
Your trust matters.
