There have been so many changes that have happened so quickly in the last month. I know it feels scary, these are events that very few have lived through with first hand experience. Isolation might feel like our only safe-haven at this time. But with isolation, often comes more depressive symptoms, and may plunge us further into struggles with our mental health. Doom-scrolling makes me sick to my stomach, and I am sure you feel similarly. Right now, self-care is of the utmost importance. We must take time to find balance and not numb out or push everyone away because the world just seems so unsafe. There are great people in the world, people like you. People who need connection just as much as you do. I am here. I am advocating for you.
I have gone through my period of despair, and honestly, might still be there in some moments. But I recognize how important it is to build community right now. I am hosting monthly social events that allow queer folks and our allies to connect in a safe, affirming environment. Somewhere that you can show up authentically and be met with unconditional, positive regard. A setting that is small but also powerful. I want to empower our community to come together and display resilience together. When we stand together our voices are amplified.
Join us! These social events are FREE, you just need to RSVP.
