______________________________
Our Inside Out youth group is for 2SLGBTQ+ youth ages 13-18 along with their friends, families, and supporters. We aim to create fun, affirming, and friendly spaces for queer and trans youth! This is a drop-in group, so no registration is required.
The group meets on 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month at from 6-8pm! Meetings on 4th Tuesdays are a chill hangout space with various activities.
This meetup is intended as a fun and welcoming space for friendly connection and to meet fellow 2SLGBTQ+ and allied youth! 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.
The group is run by volunteer group facilitators who have received 30+ hours of peer support training.
We ask all participants to follow our Safer Spaces Ground Rules when attending group or accessing any of our services. If you aren't following them, we might talk to you about it and/or ask you to leave depending on what's happening.
If you'd like to take any pictures of the room or the group, please ask facilitators and participants first.
