Teatime with Dorothy (In-person) - Stroll To The River!
Details
Join us for a stroll to the river! We will meet in the lobby of the building that houses the Outlink office (750 11 St SW) and make our way to the Bow River Pathway from there! We will depart at 2:15, so please ensure to join us before then. Don't forget to bring anything you need to be outside, such as sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen, bug spray, and water!
If it rains, we will meet inside at our usual spot on the 4th floor of the building at The Calgary Rainbow Room.
***
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.
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.
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.
