This is a virtual group that meets for one and a half to two hours weekly. Prior to joining the group, applicants are required to submit an application, undergo an interview with Jadivan, and arrange a virtual meeting to review the group's guidelines and conduct a technology dry run.

This support group is specifically designed for LGBTQ+ adults. The primary purpose of this group is to provide support, facilitate the sharing of experiences, and foster the development of friendships. A sense of belonging and the opportunity for social interaction are essential aspects, particularly when the demands of day-to-day activities may impede one's ability to feel supported, validated, and understood. Therefore, it is crucial to be encompassed by a positive and supportive environment, along with guidance, especially in an era dominated by the influence of social media and distorted perceptions to which we are exposed.

The group sessions are facilitated by Jadivan. The structure of each session involves an initial 20-minute segment dedicated to ice-breaker activities and check-ins. During this time, participants have the opportunity to spend 2 minutes each sharing highlights from their week, engaging in a light-hearted ice-breaker exercise, and discussing a topic of personal interest for the day's session. Subsequently, the group collectively decides on a discussion topic, either through voting or pre-selection. Jadivan then leads the discussion on the chosen topic for 55 minutes, maintaining awareness of the group dynamic and adhering to established guidelines. The session concludes with a 15-minute mindfulness practice.

In addition, a fun activity will be organized once a quarter. Examples of such activities may include games, watching movies or shows, or participating in pride events.

Rates: Free support group, worth $30 a week
