Coming Out Support Group
Available to college and graduate students questioning their sexual orientation or beginning to identify as gay, lesbian or bisexual. Students have the opportunity to clarify their sexuality, seek advice from peers and gain support in a safe, confidential environment. Common questions brought to the group are: Is a label necessary in defining my sexuality? Who, if anyone, should I come out to and when should I do it? What if my family is not supportive? How do I negotiate intimate relationships? New groups start every quarter, co-led by 1–2 SCRS clinicians interested in sexual development. The group meets once a week for 75 minutes and space is limited to 12 participants. Please contact John McPherrin, PsyD, at jkm@uchicago.edu for more information or to register.
