Join our free & friendly Drop-in Group on Mondays from 6pm at The Queery, Brighton (temporarily).
These are volunteer-led groups facilitated by volunteers from the trans and non-binary community, all of whom have a range of lived-experience of drug and/ or alcohol use and its associated problems, but are now living drug and alcohol-free.
The purpose of the group is to provide an informal, face-to -face weekly support opportunity that attendees can build into their routine: a place where trans and non-binary people can come together in a safe, non-judgmental space. We support each other through sharing experiences of all aspects of life, whether that be directly around your drug and/or alcohol use, or simply everyday life.
This is a drop-in, so people can come and go as they please. Some people choose to share, whilst others prefer just to listen. We have a range of fidget toys and ear-defenders to assist with any sensory needs.
