🌈Letters of Gratitude🌈

Last night's Support Group went amazing!
We enjoyed sharing the floor with each other on what Pride & Gratitude mean to us; and shared things we are proud of, within ourselves and our LGBTQIA+ Community🥰

Everyone chose their favorite cards and stickers, and spent time in reflection, as we wrote letters to those whom have made positive impacts on our lives. 🫶 It was such an uplifting session, and everyone truly enjoyed themselves. 💜

We are currently working with folks to bring our Support Group to Ohio University for the new year-2026! With hopes to give more folks in-town access to our Resources! 🌈Stay tuned! 🫶
