This is a group for folks who are questioning their gender and/or sexuality.
How does it work?
The 2SLGBTQIA+ Questioning group is a process-oriented counselling group that focuses on exploring gender and/or sexuality within a collaborative and supportive environment. Each session has a theme. Discussions and activities are designed to help members reflect upon and learn about themselves and each other.
This group is for SFU students who would like to explore aspects of their gender and/or sexuality in a supportive community environment. By participating in this group, you may experience:
- Community support
- Connection
- A deeper understanding of yourself and others, specifically in the areas of gender and sexuality.
6-8 members can join the group each term and members are asked to attend all 7 sessions.
