Summary
CQ is a peer-facilitated support group that aims to create a supportive and welcoming environment where participants can be themselves fully and openly without fear of judgment. Participants are provided an opportunity to engage in an encouraging and caring environment, share personal stories/feelings, listen as others share their experiences, and learn coping strategies.

Chronically Queer strongly believes in community, supporting, growing, and facilitating. Discussion topics include: self-care and community care, mental health during the pandemic, grief and loss, coping with isolation, how to deal with ableism, navigating the medical system, and how to effectively advocate for yourself and/or others.
