2SLGBTQIA+ Questioning Group

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 ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV 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.
