The BQC is thrilled to be partnering again with our friends at Accent Counseling to provide another FREE counseling support group designed specifically for our queer community!  

Thanks to your donations to the BQC and recent grants we were awarded there is no cost to participants. Support groups are NOT covered by insurance but we know that they provide critical support for healing and processing.

This 8-week therapeutic support group is led by trained professionals and offers a supportive space for LGBTQIA2S+ adults (18+) seeking a place to process their grief.

Recognizing that queer grief is often disenfranchised and profoundly shaped by our intersectional identities, the group used creative expression like journaling, art, and music within an identity-affirming framework to help navigate the complexities of grief.

Together, we will explore:

• Foundations and Our Chosen Family Circle

• The Uniqueness of Queer Grief

• Music Therapy

• The Body Keeps the Score: Somatic and Sensory Grief

• Goodbye Letter

• Rituals, Remembrance and Legacy

• Building a Tender Toolkit: Coping and Self-Compassion

• Integration, Resilience and Looking Forward

Whatever form of grief you may be experiencing, or want to be more prepared to manage in the future, this space is for building connection, processing experience, and cultivating queer support. All queer identities and lived experiences are welcome.

Accent Counseling: 1400 Broadway, Bellingham, WA 98225
