In times of uncertainty, one truth remains:the relationships we cultivate—our chosen family, our partners, our friends, our community—are the bedrock of our strength.Historically, LGBTQ+ and Black communities have turned to each other, reclaiming love, safety, and security in the face of adversity. And now, it’s your turn to reclaim yours!

Learn to transform adversity into deeper bonds, cultivate unwavering trust, and build relationships that serve as both a sanctuary and a source of power.
This bootcamp is specifically designed for LGBTQ+ individuals and partners wanting a space that acknowledges their unique experiences alongside allies and mental health providers wanting to support efforts to build and protect safe and secure relationships for all.
Whether you are ready to strengthen current relationships, navigate new challenges or seeking deeper connections, this experience will help you create the safety and security you deserve.
