Reminder: LGBT partners of Survivors support group @ Thu Sep 13 7pm - 8pm (Queer Things)

LGBT partners of Survivors support group

Dear Friends,

Fresh! White and a co-Leader, are coming together to create a free support group for queer identified partners of survivors of childhood/youth sexual abuse. Our goal is to create a safe space for us to share and explore our own feelings, personal concerns and self-care practices. While we intend to create a safe and therapeutic environment, this is Not a therapy group. We want this to be more of a peer-led support circle where we as leaders, will hold the intention of the group.

The group will create a safe space to explore our feelings as partners. We will complement discussions with meditations and are open to other ideas for the sessions as we move forward. We will share without revealing the details of our partners experience and focus more, not only on what's hard or challenging for us, but sharing skills and tips for self-care, in reflection of our partner and/or relationship needs. We will make no assumptions about whether each-others current or past partners are survivors.

- This group is open to ALL Queer identified folks.

- The first group will be closed and meet for 4 weeks beginning Thursday September 13th, at which time opening or expanding the group will be a decision we make as a whole.

- Attendee's names will be shared in confidence before the first meeting.

- We ask that no assumptions will be made about which of our past or present partners may or may not be a survivor.

- At this time we are looking for no more than 10 attendees.

Logistics:

The group will be held on Thursday nights from 7-8PM, beginning, September 13th, at the SF LGBT Center located at: 1800 Market Street. If you are interested, please send an email to queerpartnersofsurvivors@gmail.com for more information.
