We offer support to anyone who has had someone in their life (parents, children, friends, etc.) ‘come out’ or disclose that they are LGBTQ+.
It can be an overwhelming or confusing time when we have been told that someone close to us comes out as LGBTQ+.

What other members said"I've recently joined a new Support Group. I didn't know what to expect but each time I have been, I've noticed that there is a healing 'energy' in the room. People share their stories and situations in a safe way. It's a small intimate group, it feels good to have a window to share with others travelling a similarly difficult journey. Vassia who facilitates holds the group in a very talented way. She gives home exercises that are really causing me to be brave and deepen the process of acceptance."
(M., from the Divorce Support Group-Leiden) "Vassia is a skillful, caring, empathetic and assertive counselor. With her energy and her endless will to help, the support group exceeds our expectations." (J., from the Divorce Support Group-Leiden) |
