GBTQ MEN LIVING WITH A DISABILITY, HEALTH CONDITION AND/OR ARE NEURODIVERSE – THERAPY SUPPORT GROUP.
Spectra are launching a, peer-delivered, 10-week therapy group for gay, bisexual, and queer, cis and trans men to support living with their visible and hidden difference, from May 17th, 2022, to be held in a private and easily accessible location near Clapham Junction.
- Do you identify as a gay, bisexual, or queer, cis or trans man living with a chronic health condition(s), a disability, and/or are neurodiverse? For example, perhaps, you’re visually impaired, have an autoimmune disease, are HIV+, you’re suffering from long covid, and/or you are a wheelchair user. Or perhaps your condition isn’t commonly recognised by others.
- Does this way of life negatively impact or challenge your ability to have a healthy and happy sex and/or social life? Do you worry about how potential or current partners, or members of your community might respond to your condition? Do you feel isolated or invisible because of it?
- Perhaps you struggle with feelings of shame, fear, disgust, anger, or sadness, or just a general sense that your body is letting you down? Visible and hidden difference can be challenging to live with and can sometimes make the idea of sex and relationships anxiety-inducing.
- The group will be a place where you can meet other GBTQ men with whom to share your lived experiences and find support safely and confidently.
