Options: A Harm Reduction Group for Men
Options is a discussion series based on the principles of harm reduction. Rather than focusing on abstinence or sobriety, this semi-structured discussion series will support men who want to change their relationship with alcohol and/or other drugs. Through conversation and activities, this series will consider each person's history of substance use and will support each man as he redefines his relationship with substances and establishes personal goals for use.

Healing Spirals: Gay Survivors of Sexual Abuse
This group explores the different issues that arise for gay men who were abused as children or adolescents. These might include: establishing trust; assessing safety; dealing with memories; negotiating relationships with families of origin; coping with feelings of shame, isolation, grief, loss, or rage; setting boundaries with others; and developing intimate relationships. This list is not exhaustive, however, and participants are encouraged to raise any issues or concerns that have arisen as a result of childhood experiences of abuse.
