NOTE: This group is not currently scheduled to run during the Spring 2012 semester.  If you have an interested in this group, please contact CAPS to request your name be added to the call list for next semester.

The LGBT Support Group aims to provide a safe and supportive environment for LGBTIQ individuals while they focus on issues of coming out, self-acceptance, relationships, identity confusion, relationships, homophobia, and discrimination.  Ths group will have psycho-educational, process, and support components.   It will be an open, ongoing group that will add clients as they are identified by clinicians.  The group will run during the fall and spring semesters, and during summer if needed.    Potential benefits of participating in this group include:

-          Having a safe space to discuss LGBT-related concerns

-          Connecting with others who are supportive of you and your experiences

-          Learning about and/or sharing resources available locally in the LGBT community

-          Hear about others’ experiences with coming out and gather ideas for your own journey

The LGBT Support Group will be run by Rob Gerrick, M.A., who runs FGCU’s Safe Zone program.
