Women Coming Out Later in Life
an online support group for Georgia residents
Victoria Tozzi, LCSW, facilitator
About the Group
This group is for partnered or single women coming out late in life. It includes women who are curious and/or uncertain about their sexual orientation; those who are already out publicly; and those who are anywhere in between. The group provides a safe place to share openly or just to listen, to receive support and resources, to learn from the experiences of others and to make friends.
Ages range from 20 upward! We are open to “alumni” who can visit periodically and share their experiences. Every effort is made to keep the space confidential, safe and secure. Please come exactly as you are!
In 2024, the group meets monthly online on Thursdays from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on these dates:
Nov 21
Dec 19
In-person groups are offered monthly on Saturdays by Melissa Lester, LCSW. Find out more about those groups at: melissalesterlcsw.com
The reason for the group
Exploring our sexuality can be both exhilarating and scary. We may feel alone, especially if we are uncertain about what is happening and how changes could impact our lives and the lives of others. In our group, there is freedom to ask questions without pressure to know the answers or to make changes. We often hear the words “me too” which can put us at ease about our unfamiliar or “secret” feelings. Our decisions are our own, and no matter what we decide, we are supported. Many of us have found a community of new friends!
The structure
This is an open group, meaning that women can drop in as it meets their schedule. In any given month, you might see familiar faces and new ones.
Cost
$25 per session. This fee is waived for those with financial or safety concerns.
