Reach Out-Humans First offers various gatherings, events, forums, lectures, and discussions to anyone who wishes to participate and engage with others in respectful self-exploration. We are not a licensed mental health treatment program. We provide a non-threatening environment in which to discuss growth and awareness and inter-personal issues that are now ubiquitous in today’s world. Our organization has a particular interest in LGBTQ issues, religion and spirituality, youth and adolescence, and the general removal of stigmas and fears that may prevent many people from reaching out for support. There is no requirement for participation in any of our programs except a desire to engage with fellow respectful, open-minded people and a willingness to allow anyone to feel comfortable expressing his or herself. Some of our events are based on an open-topic format, with an emphasis on social interaction and community involvement, while others are more directed and specific in subject matter. However, every event is open to every individual. Whether you want to meet people with similar experiences and beliefs, or meet those with different backgrounds from your own in order to gain better understanding of another’s perspective, we know that engaging in this kind of open-minded, non-judgmental dialogue is crucial for eradicating the stigma and ignorance that are detrimental to the understanding of people’s unique differences and individual make-up. True community starts from within. It starts here. It starts now. Reach out. We are all Humans First.
