AspenOUT is inviting community members to its Virtual Adult LGBTQIA+ Support Group, an ongoing online group providing a safe, welcoming and affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals to connect, discuss and share experiences, facilitated by host Janet Gordon.
This online group offering recognizes what a press release calls a “vital need for accessible mental health resources and peer support.” AspenOUT created this digital space with the aim of providing individuals the opportunities to discuss topics surrounding sexuality, gender and mental well-being, open to all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer-identifying and gender-nonconforming community members.
“Having a reliable and secure space to discuss our unique lived experiences is essential for the mental health and wellness of the LGBTQ+ community,” Gordon said in the release. “Our virtual doors are open to anyone who needs community, understanding, or simply a place to be their authentic selves.”
The Virtual Adult LGBTQIA+ Support Group meets online from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. The next session is scheduled for Tuesday, July 7, and participants are welcome to join the series at any time. The cost is $5 per session, and participants must be 18 years of age or older to participate.
To receive the meeting link, attendees must complete the online registration form. For more information or to fill out the form to join the upcoming session, visit aspenout.com/event/adult-support-group-online-lgbtq.
