Thriving Together
Monday nights from 6:30-8:00PM
Let’s be honest- we all have trauma. It effects each and every one of us differently and we usually choose to cope with it in different ways. This group is designed to get you in the door. To create a safe space so you can start to work on the layers like an onion. We don’t compare. We do not judge. We do not diagnose- We support.

Men’s Support
Every Wednesday at 6:30PM in person
This group is designed to bring “a totally awesome group of men together to discuss the issues that we are all facing as men today: building and maintaining relationships, unpacking the “truths” we were told about being a man, why we struggle to trust and more.” - in the words of our facilitator, Mac.
Join us for another inspiring and lively virtual conversation on Thursday nights vritually at 7PM! As part of our bi-weekly LGBTQ+ and ALLY meet-up series, this month we’re focusing on career transformations—a topic for anyone who feels stuck, unfulfilled, or ready for a bold shift in their professional life.

Pride Hub
Divorce Group
Every Monday @ 7pm (virtual)
This group is designed to offer group members the opportunity to share their divorce-related experiences, process emotions and give and receive support by other community members going through similar experiences.
Club Sober
In collaboration with Pink Rock Culture Co-Op
The first Wednesday of every month- Starting March 5th
When sobriety is your bedrock, but performing requires playing in bars and clubs...
When the stage and audiences can be intimidating and you've found socially approved but health-diminishing ways to take the edge off and now you seek a holistic kind of support...
When lowered inhibitions in the short-term leads to fostering long-term habitual cycles...
When what works in the beginning, doesn't work in the end...
When being in substance-fueled environments challenges recovery...
When the spotlight is literally shining on you...
Pre-show jitters...
Post-show come-down...
Professional musicians likely run the risk of normalizing the bar/club environment, because that environment becomes their workplace. That workplace introduces other problematic factors for cycles of addiction; late nights and irregular sleep schedules. It’s a recipe for unbalance.
This is not just a peer-support group meeting, but lasting connections and support in real-life, when it's a call, or a friend in the crowd before or after your gig -- centered energy for strength, confidence, and stress- and risk-management.
If you’re an artist, you'll make art regardless of how you’re feeling or what state you’re in. Let it be sober. Try it and see what's possible.
Neurodivergent
Support
Held biweekly on Tuesdays at 6:00PM Virtually
In this peer-to-peer space, we celebrate neurodiversity and offer a platform for sharing insights, challenges, and triumphs. Whether you're navigating ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or any other neurodivergent identity, you're not alone.
Through open dialogue, mutual support, and resource sharing, we aim to cultivate resilience and self-acceptance. Together, we navigate the intricacies of everyday life, from work and relationships to self-care and advocacy.
Disordered Eating/Exercise Support
Sundays from 3 pm - 4:15PM at Safe Space.
120 E. Washington St, Suite 601, Syracuse
