Alternatives to Suicide Peer Support Group
2025-12-01 18:30 - 20:00 (America/Denver) | The Center on Colfax, 1301 E. Colfax Ave., Denver, CO, 80218, United States
Alternatives to Suicide Peer Support Group
Alternatives to Suicide is a free, non-judgmental, non-clinical, peer-led, and confidential drop-in space where people can share difficult thoughts and feelings without being assumed to have an illness or be assessed for involuntary intervention.
The phrase, “I feel suicidal” can hold many meanings. Having the space to openly explore the thoughts, feelings, and experiences underneath is often helpful in moving towards something different.
These groups are not just for people who are actively suicidal, but for anyone who would benefit from a non-judgmental space to explore their thoughts and emotions with a group.
This group is free, welcoming and friendly, and we provide snacks!

How Therapists Can Provide Queer-Affirming Mental Health!
2025-12-03 11:30 - 12:30 | Virtual – Zoom
Denver Family Institute would like to invite youth-serving professionals to our upcoming virtual "Lunch and Learn" on October 22nd or December 3rd to discuss an emerging therapeutic model, the "Queer Adjusted Systemic Lens!"
The model will be presented by its creator, August Tousignant-Stanton, LCSW, LMFT (they/them). August is a member of the American Association of Marriage & Family Therapists (AAMFT's) group of queer therapists, QTAN (the Queer and Trans Advocacy Network). As part of QTAN, August composed the chapter on working with queer children for AAMFT's new guidebook, "GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE: Guidelines for Working Systemically with Transgender, Nonbinary, and Gender Expansive Clients." (Available for free here.) August will be presenting their model at AAMFT's Systemic Family Therapy conference in late October 2025.
August's new model, the "Queer Adjusted Systemic Lens," is focused on giving professionals who work with queer youth & their families a new approach to their work; one that affirms the identity of clients, acknowledges the real risks (and the very real benefits) of queer thriving, and how to maneuver relationships and systems beyond "neutrality." There will be a Q&A following the presentation.
If you have any questions, please contact Miguel Valdez, DFI Program Manager, at miguelvaldez@denverfamilyinstitute.org. We look forward to seeing you at the "Lunch and Learn!"

It's often said that when a loved one transitions, everyone around them transitions too. PFLAG Denver's SOFFA group acknowledges that sometimes those closest to a transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming person may need assistance to better provide support. Regardless of where you are on your allyship journey, our peer-led groups provide brave space for you to adapt and develop expanded capacities of empathy and understanding. Through each other's stories, we gain perspective, we hold accountability, and we celebrate joys. We learn coping strategies that can foster personal growth and resilience so that we may better support our loved ones. The collective insights and shared strength found in SOFFA can help individuals navigate their difficulties with increased emotional support and a sense of community, ultimately contributing to their overall well-being and healing journey.
