SUPPORT GROUPS

Dunshee House support groups are ongoing, weekly groups organized around a common issue, experience, or circumstance.  Our support groups are peer-facilitated by volunteers who are trained and supervised by Dunshee House staff members.

Some examples of Dunshee House support groups are the following: “Long-term Survivors of AIDS,” “Women ‘Coming Out’ after Thirty,” "Body Matters,"  “Gender Outlaws,” and “HIV Negative Gay and Bisexual Men.”

DISCUSSION GROUPS

Dunshee House discussion series are often short term, weekly groups, generally four to twelve weeks in length, which focus on specific topics or books.  Occasionally, discussion groups may be ongoing, rather than short term.  Our discussion series are peer-facilitated by volunteers who are trained and supervised by Dunshee House staff members.

Past Dunshee House discussion series have included the following:  “Queer Women Talk,” “Communities, Connectedness, Boundaries, and Responsibilities,” the “Radical Gurls Reading Group,” and “Queer Conversations.”

ONE-TO-ONE SUPPORT

Dunshee House one-to-one peer support programs provide opportunities for pairs of folks to share information, support, and life skills around particular issues or circumstances.  Our one-to-one peer support programs are directly supervised by Dunshee House staff members.

One example of one-to-one peer support through Dunshee House is “Positives”, a short-term, one to one peer support program matching newly diagnosed or newly dealing HIV+ males with HIV+ males who’ve been positive for a year or more.
