In collaboration with Retriever Integrated Health (RIH), we will be hosting ongoing facilitated workshops with the intention of affirming queerness, working to foster a community, centering well-being, and celebrating exploration. Preliminary topics will include questioning, “the coming out” process, and finding chosen family.

Formerly called The Closet Collective in its planning stages, this support group centers the experiences of students who were questioning if they identify as queer, are closeted either partially or completely, or who have very recently come out and navigating negative consequences to the experience by others.

Join Paws & Reflect: Gender, Sexuality, and Romantic Exploration for the first workshops highlighting identity exploration and on/off-campus resources, followed by a Q&A with various queer guests.

Due to the nature of this sensitive topic and in an effort to protect our closeted siblings, an RSVP is REQUIRED. Invitation links will be sent privately via email from one of our facilitators.

If you know someone who is currently struggling with this process, there will also be a referral form released in the coming days for one of our staff members reach out to them.

Please stay tuned for more details!
