Come by on the third Monday of every month for our aromantic and asexual peer support group! We welcome anyone who identifies on the a-spectrum and anyone who is questioning. This includes demi- and grey-oriented folks and anyone who wants to learn more about how they might fit on the a-spectrum.

Our peer support group is a space for us to talk about our shared experiences, process struggles, and support each other. If you’re still trying to figure out your identity, it’s a great environment to hear from other aro/ace folks and talk to people going through similar things as you.

An affinity group is like a support group, but it's not mental health therapy--just like-minded folks gathering in solidarity and support in a space where it's safe to vent, problem solve, commiserate, comfort, empathize, and hold space for one another. Affinity groups cultivate an environment where you can feel heard and understood. (Ages 18+)
