Breast Cancer Support Group
Breast cancer strikes more women than any other cancer and hits the LGBTQ community harder than other communities. This support group is for anyone suffering from breast cancer regardless of sexual orientation or gender.

Women’s Coming Out Support Group - A place for questioning women
We provide a safe haven where gay, bisexual and questioning women can find acceptance, support and a friendly atmosphere. The group will focus on topics such as: understanding feelings of same gender attraction and love; examining stereotypes about lesbians, gays bisexuals and transgendered; incorporating other important aspects of identity (i.e., race/ethnicity, religion, age) into your current self-perception; coming out to friends, family, siblings, co-workers; developing social support; and learning about the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgendered (LGBT) community.
Meets every Saturday at 10:00 AM at the Resource Center.
