One Foot In: Anti-carceral Suicidality Support
One Foot In is a support group for folks who want to explore their relationship to suicidal ideations. This 8 week virtual group is for queer, trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive people who currently experience or have in the past experienced suicidal ideation. We will build community, affinity, and skillshare the ways through which we have learned to survive. This group will follow a peer support model, with weekly discussion topics determined by the group. One Foot In is a closed group, and I ask that people do their best to attend every session. https://forms.gle/ac54oDic1PkgKnrR9
