What is the group about?

"A psychotherapy support group for queer folk. If you are looking to find a safe space to explore, express and find support and community in your journey as a queer person (sexual and/or gender identity) with a mental health experience."

What is your founding story?

"The facilitators identify as queer with a mental health experience and background too. We wanted a space where both mental health as well as being queer are held together with care."

How does one sign up? What’s the coordination process like?

Walk us through the average format of your group session.

"We typically begin with sharing experiences of our week w.r.t how our identities and mental health intersect. We hold space for sharing and encourage further exploration and we end with what we call the outsider witness...where we encourage every member to reflect on what they are taking away from the sharing."

What do you hope for participants in your group to take back with them after a session?

"Support, solidarity and safety in being who they are."
