Women OUT
Women Opening Up Together , Seattle Counseling Service's newest program, is raising awareness within the LBTQ community about methamphetamine use among queer identified women. Our goal is to provide information and tools to educate the community about the effects of meth on women and their relationships.
Drop-In group for LBTQ women who use or are in recovery from Crystal Meth:
Drop-In is a safe, supportive environment for women to work through feelings of shame, guilt, and loss. This group will support you in offering and receiving support form other women working on common issues of meth abuse: depression, anxiety & other effects of meth on the mind; trauma & abuse; triggers and craving; meth's impact on relationships & family; health & harm reduction.
Meetings are every Wednesday from 6:30 to 7:30 at Seattle Counseling Service starting May 19th.
