Saturday 4/10 - SALGA Monthly Support Group Meeting

Join SALGA for our monthly support group meeting.
The theme for this month will be

Friendships

With the arrival of spring, it’s time to take stock of our relationships, and not just our romantic ones. Whether you’ve been thinking about taking leave of someone who’s been bringing you down, or it’s time to take the initiative with a new friend at work, friendships can bring their own unique brand of personal drama. Mixing old friends and new, mourning the loss of friends you thought would be around forever, or feeling lonely and not sure where to meet your next best pal — whatever it is, come talk about it at SALGA’s next monthly Support Group.

(As always, the topic is a guide, but please bring whatever issues are current for you as well.)
