Teatime with Dorothy (In-person)

Join us for friendly conversation in a safe, supportive and welcoming online environment. This is a chance for older members of our community to support each other and meet new people. Open to older adults 50+ who identify as 2SLGBTQ+ community members and folks who are allies.

This is a free drop-in group.

This group meeting will be held in-person at the CommunityWise Resource Centre (223 12 Ave SW) at room #106 (the Arusha room), located on the main floor (please see below for public health safety precautions).

When you arrive, please dial 106 on the intercom at the front door and let us know what group you're here for so we can let you in. We'll be letting folks in until 2:45pm, so please arrive before that.

This meetup is intended as a space for peer support and casual connection. This is not a structured therapy group nor is it a dating space. If you are looking for further support, Outlink staff are available to meet with you one-on-one or in small groups by phone, text based messaging, or video call upon request. They can also help connect you to other counselling services.

Please note that this meeting is moderated by Outlink staff/volunteers who reserve the right to remove anyone from the group who is in violation of our Safer Space Ground Rules.

If you'd like to take any pictures of the room or the group, please ask facilitators and participants first.
