Hi Lynne,

 

Would you please circulate this information to Alliance members about a new program serving LGBTQ+ youth in Ottawa, offered by YSB?  The program runs Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9 at the YSB Drop-in at 147 Besserer Street.  Here is some additional information:

 

Spectrum LGBTQ+ Community Youth Group 

 

LGBTQ+ youth looking for a rainbow space to meet new people, engage in workshops and discussions, access services, or just chill out are welcome to attend Spectrum.

 

Spectrum is a brand new community group for LGBTQ+ youth in Ottawa! Youth Services Bureau is proud to offer a new program that provides workshops, discussion groups, and art collaborations, as well as counselling services, peer mentoring, and primary care resources. 

Each evening will involve a variety of options in terms of services that youth can access, including an introduction to our space and expectations, a queer current events discussion, activities, access to harm reduction exchange, basic needs, access to crisis counsellors from the Youth Services Bureau and Centretown Community Health Centre, as well as a relaxed space where youth can be out and proud. When possible, snacks will be provided, and as always, we will have trained counsellors and peer mentors available if you need to talk. We can make referrals too.

 

We are proudly accessible, and look forward to engaging with youth from a spectrum of experiences.

 

Spectrum meets every Tuesday from 7-9 PM at 147 Besserer St.  Open to youth ages 12 to 25.  We hope to see you there! 

 

Thank you!
