Neuroqueer Connections
Welcome to Neuroqueer Connections, a supportive virtual group fostering understanding and connection for those navigating the intersection of neurodivergence, queer identities, and race. Groups are 90-minutes in length and meet bi-weekly (every other week) on Wednesdays at 5pm EST. Open and ongoing enrollment begins May 15, 2024 through May 14, 2025. Please join us at one, several, or all group sessions! This group is available to folks located in NY, NJ, CA, IL and FL only.
“This group exists because we need one another to feel and heal.”
-Dani Sullivan, LCSW
Neuroqueer Connections aims to be an emotionally nurturing virtual space where you can explore your truth vulnerably, within affirming community. In this virtual group, we will explore living outside of white, cisgender, heteronormative and neurotypical expectations. This support group highlights the importance of gathering in community in a time of increased isolation to find belonging and give/receive care.
Neuroqueer Connections
is for you if…
You identify as queer*, or a member of the LGBTQIA+ community AND
You identify as neurodivergent*, or having a bodymind that diverges from neuronormative standards or expectations (no ‘formal diagnosis’ required, self-identification is liberatory!)
You may be a person of color seeking inclusive community or you might be a white person who is actively invested in anti-racist practices**
You seek an affirming and compassionate community to heal and explore your truth
You want to feel connected, confident and affirmed in a world that doesn’t always celebrate your unique and intersecting identities
You want to move beyond just survival and you need tools and resources to help you thrive & reach your goals
You're figuring out how to navigate self-care and self-expression and you want to connect with others who get it and are doing the same
You value intersectional identities and celebrate diversity. You are open to being challenged and changing your mind.
If you are wondering if you are queer or neurodivergent ‘enough,’ the answer is yes; please join us!
*We use the words “queer” and “neurodivergent” in the most inclusive context. We see queer and neurodivergent as umbrella terms that encompass a host of complex and intersecting identities/ experiences.
**BIPOC participation in this group is highly encouraged, with options for BIPOC-only break-out spaces facilitated by Kim. Pay What You Can payment options beginning at $5 per session are available for participants of color.
