Open Hearts is for all trans, non-binary and gender diverse individuals. As well as those looking to affirm, to explore, or are questioning a trans or gender-diverse identity. Open Hearts focuses on building community and connections.
As distinct from some of the other groups, this is an open format group that is casual and informal in nature. It is about creating space for individuals to share and just be themselves.
This event will be held in the room near the entrance of the building. Look for the Skipping Stone sign!

Colleqtive is a peer support group for racialized 2SLGBTQ+ community members. This includes community members who are Black, Indigenous, and people of colour. This group is a closed space, only for those who the group is intended for. Join us in a colleqtive community space together!
This group 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 and support services.
