Queer Sharing Circle

MAC Counselling are proud to be launching a queer sharing circle from our Clydebank location, beginning this month!

We believe that the queer community deserve to have a safe and inclusive space where LGBT+ topics and issues can be explored and discussed, and stories can be shared. We want to create an environment where queer people can meet up, be heard, and feel valued. If you identify is queer or part of the LGBT+ community, we’d love to hold space with you and give you a platform to tell your stories.
 
We’re sure you might have some questions, so here are some answers that may help…
 
What will it look like?
We’re creating a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere, in a comfortable and calming setting. Bring along a mug and we’ll provide the tea and coffee!
 
What will be involved?
Each evening will begin at looking at a subject matter that is relevant within the queer community, and you’ll have the opportunity to share your experiences. You will have the chance to ask the other participants questions and educational soundbites throughout the session, so that you have the opportunity to learn and develop, as well as be heard.
 
I’m not keen on sharing, do I need to talk?
Absolutely not – if you are more comfortable listening than you are talking, that’s ok. This is a space for you to feel comfortable and welcome, and you won’t be forced to do anything you don’t want to.
 
When and where is it being held?
We will be meeting at our Clydebank therapy space.
 
The address is:
Titan Business Centre
Aurora Avenue
Clydebank
G81 1BF
 
It’s a short walk from Clydebank train station and Clydebank bus terminus. It also has lots of free parking.
 
The first session is scheduled for Thursday 15th August at 7pm til 9pm.
 
How much will it cost me?
We understand that financial struggles are an issue for many people, and that’s why we’ve decided to run this event free of charge. You are more than welcome to make a donation to help us with running costs.
 
If you would like to come along, please drop us an email to info@maccounselling.uk so we can save you a seat – we intend on keeping these sessions small and intimate, so don’t miss your chance!

Queer Sharing Circle - The first session is scheduled for Thursday 15th August at 7pm til 9pm.
