💜 Pride Pathways is coming to Maine!

Join the AFSP Maine and New Hampshire Chapters at The Kita Center in Acton, Maine, for Showing Up Together: Building Community, Connection, and Support for LGBTQIA+ Communities, a full day focused on LGBTQIA+ mental health, su***de prevention, connection, and community.

We’ll start the day with Pride Pathways, AFSP’s su***de prevention program created specifically for LGBTQIA+ communities and allies. The conference will feature two dedicated tracks, one for the LGBTQIA+ community and one for Allies, with opportunities to learn, connect, and grow.

Throughout the day, attendees can also take part in optional wellness activities, including nature walks, archery, art activities, quiet reflection, and opportunities to connect with others. We’ll come together at the end of the day for a community panel focused on building connection, strengthening support, and creating more welcoming and affirming communities.

Strong communities are built through connection, conversation, and shared experiences.

When we share our mental health journeys, we have an opportunity to create hope and help others feel less alone. Safe messaging is about telling our stories in a way that encourages help-seeking, promotes healing, and fosters connection.

Together, we can create communities where people feel seen, supported, and comfortable reaching out for help. 💙
