The purpose of this group is to provide a safe, supportive, and affirming
environment where individuals can explore thoughts and feelings around sexual
orientation and gender identity.
The group is appropriate for individuals who are anywhere in the lifelong
“coming-out” process, which includes: people who may be uncertain and are
questioning their sexual orientation or gender identity, people who may be
coming out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer, and people who
struggle with “being in the closet” at work or school, with friends, and with
their families. The group is also appropriate for individuals who would
like to process or talk about some of the issues described below.
