Drop-in Holiday Support Groups

Join members of CWHC’s counseling team for our Drop-in Holiday Support Group series! Participants are invited to share experiences and receive support as well as identify coping tools. Topics of discussion are open to participants' input.  Potential topics include (but are not limited to) queerness and the holidays, family conflict, food and body, and grief and loss. Each group will be cofacilitated. The group is open to people with all identities, and will be an explicitly queer-affirming, harm-reductionist, and size inclusive space.
