Queer & Neurodivergent Peer Support Group

A group for individuals who identify as being queer and who are also neurodivergent to discuss our mental health. The group will be free and in-person at the Local Council of Women located in Halifax, Nova Scotia. 18+, no max age limit and no diagnosis required. Coffee/Tea and snacks will be provided.

The group will actually run from 6:15 - 7:15pm every Friday evening for 12 weeks.

Peer support is a safe, confidential, peer-to-peer led support with two facilitators who also identify as being queer and neurodivergent. Every week we will come together as a community to share our experiences and chat about different topics.
