GROUPS
Benefits of Groups
In a group setting, participants have the opportunity to share their personal stories, struggles, and achievements within a safe and confidential environment. The group members actively listen, provide empathy, and offer feedback, creating a supportive network. The group dynamic allows individuals to gain different perspectives, learn from others' experiences, and develop a sense of belonging.
See below for all of our current group options.
Trans and Gender Expansive “Stitch and Bitch” Social Group
Calling all Trans and Gender Expansive crafters! This is a group of people gathering (virtually for now) for community and conversation. We provide an online room for people to participate in all types of crafting activities, including but not limited to: crochet, knitting, coloring, painting, stitching, scrap booking, while connecting to members of the Trans and Gender Expansive community. This group is hosted by Alexis Burrow LPCC-S, but is not considered a therapy group. The identified host will encourage sharing from members in a virtual round table but discussion is not required. Individuals have complete freedom to show up late, leave early, bring dinner, leave their cameras off, or even skip sharing.
The group will meet the first Tuesday of the Month from 6:00pm-8:00pm
The only requirement for the group is to meet with the host individually before receiving the link for the virtual gathering.
