Queerodiverse

Description

The Queerodiverse peer support group is an 18+ welcoming space for Two-Spirit, queer, and trans folks who are neurodivergent, self-identify as neurodivergent, or are curious and exploring neurodiversity. Whether you have a formal diagnosis, are self-diagnosed, or are still wondering: your people are here. If you are under 18 and are interested in services for youth, we recommend reaching out to the QMUNITY youth team at youth@qmunity.ca who can direct you to the appropriate supports and groups.  This group embraces the full spectrum of neurodiversity including autism, ADHD/ADD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, Tourette’s, OCD, and other neurodivergent identities.  Queerodiverse is a space grounded in respect, curiosity, and shared understanding. Together we create a supportive environment to connect, share experiences, explore identity, and build community without judgment or pressure. The group is facilitated by Jeremy Williams (he/they), an AuDHD Master Practitioner of Clinical Counselling, ADHD Certified Clinical Service Provider, and Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist. Jeremy brings both professional training and lived experience with ADHD and autism, offering a grounded, affirming presence while centering peer connection and shared voices.  Jeremy is also the founder of Queerodiverse.com - A global community of allies, changemakers, leaders, and educators dedicated to a world where knowledge builds understanding, advocacy creates change, and queer neurodiverse communities thrive. Queerodiverse is also co-facilitated by Alexandra Smyth (she/her) who is a graduate of Rhodes Wellness College with a Professional Counselling Diploma. She brings a warm, creative, and relational approach to counselling, with a focus on helping clients feel safe, understood, and able to show up as themselves. With a background in art, Alexandra is especially drawn to the ways creativity, curiosity, and self-expression can help people better understand themselves and make sense of their experiences. 18+ Peer Group Every other Wednesday of each month 6:00pm–8:00pm over Zoom For the complete schedule, zoom invite, and more information, please contact queerodiverse@qmunity.ca QMUNITY Peer Groups are volunteer-facilitated spaces.
