Strategies for LGBTQ Wellbeing

Standing on the shoulders of those
who have come before.

In response to an outpouring of community concern and interest, we have decided to shift the focus of this month’s LGBTQ Community Connection event. Instead of our planned presentation on Alzheimer's, we will hold a guided discussion to address the emotions our community may be feeling in the wake of the 2024 election.

Our goal is to provide a space for people to air their concerns, find comfort in the resources and protections available for our community, and to brainstorm actionable ways to care for ourselves and our community in the years to come. The program will include a few scheduled breaks in which we will do a breathing and relaxation exercise to help destress and help us stay mindful of our wellbeing as we navigate this sensitive topic.

We hope to welcome our guests from the Alzheimer’s Association to present in 2025.

Please take note of the date, as this month's event will be on the THIRD Thursday instead of our usual second Thursday.

LUNCH WILL BE SERVED for all who are registered.
