AFFIRM!

Peer Support Group

AFFIRM! is an 8-week education-based peer support group for gender diverse folks (age 16-25) who are interested in exploring care options and/or learning more about their care/wellbeing. 

We meet weekly for 60 minutes. It is a closed group, meaning once the intake process has been completed, no new folks will be able to join until the next group begins. There is a limit of 10 participants. If capacity is reached any additional folks can be added to the waitlist for the next cycle.

The group meets virtually on a weekly basis, every

Thursday on Zoom from:

5:30pm to 6:30pm EST

6:30pm to 7:30pm AST

2:30pm to 3:30pm PST

 

Meetings will consist of a 20-30 minute presentation on a particular topic and a 30-40 minute question and discussion period.

Schedule

The next will begin on Thursday May 28th.
