CalPride Stanislaus and La Familia present a workshop that meets twice each month to center the lived experiences of neurodivergent LGBTQ+ adults. It offers a welcoming environment for candid conversation, shared stories, learning, and building connections. Discussions explore topics such as masking, identity development, relationships, mental health and well-being, advocating for oneself, working through institutions and services, and life at the intersection of queerness and neurodivergence in adulthood. This free program is open to community members ages 18 and up, whether you are newly exploring neurodivergence, have personal experience, support someone who is neurodivergent, or want to deepen your understanding.
