The beginning of a new year can bring unique challenges for transgender and gender-expansive individuals. As we move past the holidays and into the weeks before Valentine’s Day, feelings of exclusion, isolation, and societal pressures can weigh heavily. Join us for our January Support Space to connect, share, and find solidarity in a welcoming environment.

Date: Tuesday, January 23, 2024
Time: 6 PM – 7:30 PM
Location: Allendale Equality & Justice Center, 3803 Haines Rd St. Pete, 2nd Floor

Support Space is a monthly community connection event for transgender and gender-expansive individuals and their loved ones. In this safe space, you can let your walls down, share your experiences, and feel seen and supported. Whether you’re attending for the first time or you’re a regular participant, this event is a place to foster connections and resilience.

“For transgender and gender-expansive folx, connection and community can be life-saving. Together, we create spaces of belonging and strength.”

Did you know that over 63% of transgender and gender nonconforming adults report feelings of loneliness? This statistic highlights the importance of spaces like Support Space, where individuals can find understanding and support. As societal pressures around love and relationships increase this season, we want to remind you that you are not alone.

If you or someone you know needs immediate support, resources like The Trevor Project and Trans Lifeline are available 24/7. These organizations provide crisis intervention, peer support, and suicide prevention services for transgender and LGBTQIA+ individuals.
