********************************************************
The English support group is meant for anyone who identifies as trans, genderqueer, genderfluid or non-binary as well as those who wonder if they might be something other than the gender assigned at birth. This group is also meant for intersex people. You don’t have to have a definition to your gender – or have a gender at all to take part in this support group.
Minimum age is 16 years, and there is no maximum age limit.
This support group is meant for people who mainly communicate in a language other than Finnish.
Group principles include confidentiality, right to define or not to define yourself and mutual respect. Discussion topics are decided together with the participants. Common topics for our support groups are gender, experience on gender, possible gender confirming treatments and encounters with loved ones and other people. The aim is to enable peer supportive discussion on themes to reinforce self-understanding and empowerment.
We may divide into smaller groups; therefore, we ask for topic wishes. We try our best to fulfil the wishes but can’t guarantee every wish will be fulfilled.
Only limited number of attendees can be taken to each group meeting. You can sign up until Tuesday 11th June 8pm.
If there is room for you in this group meeting:
- you will receive more information on the same week as the group meeting, latest on Thursday.
- If you realise you can’t attend the meeting, please cancel as soon as possible through the link in the confirmation email.
- NOTE! Please do not attend the group if you feel at all unwell. Please make sure you read the email you receive; we do not wish to turn anyone away.
- Please be on time. To ensure the safety of the group we will not admit latecomers.
Face-to-Face group is led by Kuura Autere and Ronja.
All the groups and their forms can be found in our web calendar
