Join a Support Group for Gender identity

Come hang out and be Queer or an Ally! This will be a pretty relaxed group where we can all be ourselves. Share stories, vent, make new connections, learn from each other’s experiences, and just enjoy each other’s company. We will begin with some basic guidelines so that everyone feels comfortable sharing their truths and everyone that wants to share gets a chance to talk. Then we will each have a chance to introduce ourselves (Name and where you are from), share our pronouns, and if comfortable you can share about your sexual identity. Remember that we are all a part of the community and we are all here for support. We will see what everyone thinks about what direction we should start our conversation in. We will move on once everyone who wants to share has a chance. We’ll go on from there based on how everyone feels and what topics are going to be most helpful for the group. SOME QUESTIONS TO PONDER: (if you want before the session)(you may also need some time to warm up before you feel comfortable with sharing and that’s OK! Take your time and remember that we’re all here to support each other) 1. Would you like to talk about self-discovery and the journey of coming out? 2. What are some challenges that you have faced as a member of the LGTBQIA+ community? 3. What is your favorite part about being a part of the LGTBQIA+ community? 4. What part of your identity are you most proud of? 5. What part of your identity did you struggle the most with growing up? 6. What part of your identity is the most important to you? 7.
