Our community members often have different definitions of what it is to be "Sober" or "Queer," but we ask that everyone joins with a clear head free from mind-altering substances.
Meets weekly on Tuesdays, from 7pm-8pm, at The Center on Colfax, in the Library on the first floor

We learn coping strategies that can foster personal growth and resilience so that we may better support our loved ones.
