Looking for a friendly check-in with your community? Grab a cup of tea and join us from wherever you are as we share in each other's company! This is a safe space for anyone who identifies as an 2SLGBTQ+ community member or ally. We will accept attendees on a drop-in basis.
This is an in-person meeting at Element Cafe (331 17 Ave SW).
We will have a few drink vouchers available to cover the cost of one drink if needed!
Our group meetings are intended as a space for casual connection. This is not a structured therapy group nor is it a dating space. If you are looking for further support, Outlink staff are available to meet with you one-on-one or in small groups by phone, text based messaging, or video call upon request. They can also help connect you to other counselling services.
Please note that meetings are moderated by Outlink staff and volunteers who reserve the right to remove anyone from the group who is in violation of our Safer Space Ground Rules.
If you'd like to take any pictures of the room or the group, please ask facilitators and participants first.
