New LQBTQ mental health support group for young adults

submitted by stremple@augsburg.edu

Hey folks!

I am facilitating a new support group for LGBTQ young adults who are living with mental illness. This group is free and run through NAMI Minnesota where I am conducting my senior year internship for my social work degree through Augsburg University. This group, like most NAMI groups, is peer-led, which means myself and my co-facilitator are both young adults who identify as LGBTQ and live with mental illness.

We meet 1st and 3rd Thursdays from 6:00-7:30pm at Boneshaker Books (2002 23rd Ave S) which is right across the pedestrian bridge from campus. The suggested age guidelines are 18-30 years old. It is 100% confidential, free, and no registration is required.

The next meeting is October 18. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
