Program Information
Program Overview:
This program focuses on providing a safe, supportive, and informative place for anyone who identifies with, or is an ally of, the LGBTQIA+ community.
There are weekly live calls on Thursdays and safe online groups where members can come together in a space dedicated to healing from trauma and covering topics that directly impact the daily life of trauma survivors in the pride community.
During live calls, the facilitator will have a screen share that covers topics including but not limited too:
- Discrimination
- Exclusion
- Marginalization
- Social Acceptance
- Unfair Treatment
- Familial Rejection
- Health Concerns Neglect
- Culture
- & more
The live calls are your unique experience to interact as little or as much as you like. You’ll have the opportunity to share during the call either using your voice or by typing in the chat. Moderators will be on each call to interact with the members and assist the call facilitator in addressing questions and comments. They will also help ensure the calls are always a safe space by having the ability to address any concerns, should they arise.
Cameras are optional on all live calls. Sharing by using your voice is encouraged, but never required. The facilitator can unmute anyone who wishes to share out loud.
The facilitator will typically read and discuss the topic via a screenshare for the first half of each call, and then open up for discussion and thoughts from the members. As a member of this program, you have input into what we cover. If you feel there is something that needs to be included, we welcome your input.
Live calls are not recorded; and no additional recordings are allowed as per our guidelines.
The online safe groups are available 24/7 from your smart phone or computer. Members are encouraged to share resources, ask questions, and support one another in the groups. All groups, and all aspects of this program are available to active members only, no visitors are allowed. This ensures that we can continue to hold the safe, affirming space for everyone, free from invalidation and marginalization
This program is not therapy and should never be considered as such. It is a peer support program, designed to help supplement ongoing individual healing work.
We’ve developed this program to give you a place to come and be around others in the pride community who are healing from complex trauma. Your voice matters, you matter. We welcome you with open arms.
