This is a supportive counseling group for gay and queer men between the ages 25-45. The group will meet virtually twice a month and is structured to support group members to engage in new and meaningful ways with their peers. Members of the group will share the challenges and hopes of gay and queer adulthood while obtaining feedback from other group members who are facing or have faced similar issues.
The group is loosely structured around relationship issues, which may include romantic, family or workplace relationships. Issues may also include finding a suitable partner, deciding whether to get married or end a relationship. But the group will find its voice as it coalesces and remains open to the issues group members want to discuss. This is an open group, which will meet for 75 minutes.
The goals of the group will be to help members practice vulnerability and promote a sense of belonging and connection. This will help reduce anxiety and isolation, overcome a fear of rejection and boost confidence.
