This group is a safe space for young adults 18+ who have lived through suicide. We explore the deep beliefs we’ve developed about ourselves, others, and the world causing these attempts. These beliefs can shape how you feel, how you react, and how you see yourself and others. We’ll gently uncover these beliefs, and begin to shift them toward truth, safety, and self-worth for lasting change. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for. Healing happens in your own time. This is a space for honesty, connection, and growth.

It's not unusual for women to delay coming out as lesbian, gay, bi, queer, pan, curious, questioning or 'No labels, please!' due to social, religious and family pressures. It's also not unusual for women's sexuality to shift from straight to 'not so straight.' This is a safe space that allows you to be curious at your own pace, get comfortable in your own skin and begin to explore the meaning of these issues for you.

Anxiety Support Groups
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
