What's included
Group experience
This will be a hangout space to provide LGBTQ+ teens with an adult-moderated space to discuss nearly any age-appropriate topic in a safe space. I will make posts about relevant current events, articles and other resources that our community may find useful, awareness days/weeks, and so forth, as well as conversation-starter posts inviting teens to share things they've created, or discuss media such as music/books/films. Personal sharing and seeking support is welcome, though we ask that members keep things vague and light, and refrain from sharing heavy topics that are better suited for therapy and/or are not appropriate for seeking support from other teens.
Other Details
Learning Needs
As there is a large overlap between the LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities, many of us tend to be neurodivergent. Our group culture is one in which we try to communicate clearly, let folks know if we are being sarcastic, and so forth.
Parental Guidance
All information and discussion will be kept age-appropriate based on WHO guidelines.
