Alternatives to Suicide Peer Support Group
2026-02-02 18:30 - 20:00 | 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!
For information on accessibility at the building itself, check out this access guide.
For accessibility requests or other questions, email: info@yarrowcollective.org.

Older, Wiser, Sexually Smarter - Rediscovering Intimacy Later in Life

Older, Wiser, Sexually Smarter - Rediscovering Intimacy Later in Life
This weekly discussion group is facilitated by a West of 50 staff member and focuses on dismantling sexual misconceptions and introducing evidence-based topics to help older adults engage in their best sex-positive-selves. The group operates based on important and fundamental concepts about sexuality and ages. Older adults can examine and possibly change the “sexual scripts” they have learned from childhood about to think and behave as sexual people. Many of these scripts are not relevant for older adults. Additionally, sex is more than intercourse. Especially in the later years, individuals can to explore the possibilities of non-penetrative sex, or “outercourse”.
We cover topics such as

Sexual decisions later in life
Good Sex: What Makes it So
Looking for Love Later in Life
Safer Sex Activities for Older Adults
From Problems to Possibilities: Sexuality, Aging, Disability, & Chronic Illness
Bottoming
Nipple play
Bondage & Discipline
Dominance & Submission
Sex History
Oral Sex
And so much more!
