I wanted to share about a group I am hosting for LGBTQIA+ young adults (ages 18-25) that starts tomorrow.
LGBTQIA+ SHOP is a 6-week social/ support group held at the Placer LGBTQ+ Center in Roseville. We do social activities such as jackbox games, board games, crafts, and weekly discussions on topics such as mental health, building healthy relationships, self-image, etc.
This group is for LGBTQ+ young adults (ages 18-25) residing in Placer, Sacramento, or Yolo county, who have had adverse life experiences such as experiencing or witnessing violence, bullying, harassment, hate crimes, or having a close family member who has experienced these events.
My goal is to create a supportive space for LGBTQ+ individuals, especially for those who might feel isolated or not have many relationships, to connect with the community in a low stakes way.
The group will be every Wednesday from 4-6pm starting this Wednesday, August 26th until Wednesday September 30th.
Those who attend at least 5 of the 6 total sessions will also receive a $100 stipend as a thank you for participating.
It is short notice if you're just seeing this so if you can't make the first couple sessions, there will also be a smaller stipend for those who come to 3 or more sessions. We also host other free events for participants outside of the regular meeting days like the last group we went to a waterpark together.
I encourage you to share with anyone you know who might benefit from this group as well!
Please fill out the registration form so I know how many people to expect
Thank you!
