The group meets every Wednesday from 6:00pm to 8:00 pm in Room 34 of the 519 Community Centre at 519 Church Street.
Discussions are facilitated by two facilitators. The first hour consists of a structured discussion on a relevant topic, such as coming out to friends/parents/at work, queer families, homophobia, and homosexuality and religion. The second hour consists of a more unstructured, open conversation related to any issues participants wish to discuss. Participants are encouraged to provide topic suggestions as well.
If you have any questions or concerns about this group, please e-mail us at comingoutbeingout@hotmail.com
