Cultivating Resilience: An LGBTQ+ Discussion & Support Group

Sponsored by: Equality Community Center

Facilitated by Charles Beneke (he/him) and Jackie Floyd (she/her), Art of Awareness clinical interns, this group begins with a brief offering of nervous system regulation skills and education on topics to support mental health. The space then opens up for participants to share and discuss what is on their minds with the optional guidance of a weekly theme.
