Do you identify as a queer man? Join Queer Men's Group to be a part of a community of queer men that discuss issues, share experiences, and cultivate relationships within their community. This group focuses on creating a safe and inclusive space for queer men to work together to reduce the stigma of mental health, healthy relationships, and to increase awareness of issues that directly impact the queer men's community. Queer Men's Group meets twice a month on the first and third Wednesday of the month from 4-5:30pm, in-person. We want to create lasting relationships and bonds with other queer men, all while improving social skills.
