Queer Support Groups

Join our support group for transgender people, this group is open to the public. Meetings occur every second Thursday from 2-5pm, including during exams and vacation periods. Though the support group has an age limit of 18, we welcome all +18s, at any stage of their journey, in exploring their gender identity, finding community, entering social/medical transition steps or seeking more information.

The group is co-facilitated by Wits Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Advocacy Programme and GALA Queer archive staff. The group is not a replacement for counselling or crisis support, but will be a valuable resource for anyone who is seeking extra support. If you are in therapy or seeing a doctor for your mental wellness, we recommend asking your professional if a social support group is right for you.

Should you wish to sign up to join the group, or access more information, please contact Ciaran Heywood, the Transformation and Employment Equity Office Social Justice Coordinator.
