Non-Binary/GenderQueer Support Group

This support group for non-binary and genderqueer folks is a space where members can build community, be seen and affirmed in their gender complexity, and get support from others who understand their experience.

Discover, craft, and integrate your nonbinary, genderqueer, or other gender non-conforming identity with us! This group is about being uniquely who we are, together.

This professionally facilitated group fosters an environment of safety and sharing as we create a supportive community together. Non-binary experience is erased in mainstream contexts, and sometimes can feel marginalized within the wider LGBTQ+ community. Getting support from others in this identity space can be critical in gaining self-understanding, developing frameworks and language that work for us, and building a sense of connection and solidarity.
