SUMMARY:Prideful Perspectives: Conversations on 2SLGBTQ+ Mental Health & Wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:Our Identities: Culture and Connection in 2SLGBTQIA+ Experiences \n\n\n\nOur cultural backgrounds\, intersecting identities\, and lived experiences can shape how we understand ourselves\, build relationships\, and find belonging.  \n\n\n\nAt this Prideful Perspectives session\, we’re reflecting on how these different aspects of identity intersect with 2SLGBTQIA+ experiences and mould how we navigate the world. During the session\, you’ll have the opportunity to share your perspective and explore new ways to navigate your relationships.  \n\n\n\nEveryone is welcome! We invite 2SLGBTQIA+ people of all sexual orientations\, gender identities\, and cultural\, racial\, ethnic\, spiritual\, and religious backgrounds (among others) to join this respectful conversation. \n\n\n\nJoin us and share your perspective with Pride. \n\n\n\nSpots are limited\, so sign up through the form below to confirm yours. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Prideful Perspectives \n\n\n\nWhile this series is not a replacement for evidence-based psychotherapy or individual mental health treatment\, we hope that our conversations will inspire reflection\, connection\, and meaningful changes in your life. This series is currently being delivered by Clinical Psychologists from the Ontario Structured Psychotherapy (OSP) Program at The Royal. \n\n\n\nAccessibility  \n\n\n\n\nThe doors at CCHC lock after 4:00PM\, so make sure to ring the bell to the right of the front doors to let us know you’ve arrived. \n\n\n\nWe’ll be on the ground level of CCHC\, which is wheelchair accessible and has gender neutral washrooms.\n\n\n\nNearby bus routes: 6\, 7\, 11\n\n\n\nClosest train station: Line 1\, Parliament Station (about a 10 minute walk)\n\n\n\nStreet parking and parking lots are open within walking distance to CCHC\n\n\n\nPlease contact us in advance for specific accessibility needs
