“Elder” - Adjective: of one or more out of a group of related or otherwise associated people of a greater age;

Noun: a leader or senior figure in a tribe or other group often connoting a place of respect or esteem.

The Freedman Center for Clinical Social Work is forming a therapeutic support group for LGBT elders 55 and over who wish to achieve successful growth, in spite of their aging. Please join us as we work together to overcome issues of isolation and loss and begin to share successful approaches to accessing much needed support and services.  Let us learn together to dream of our new futures and find our new beginnings. We will work to overcome our own homophobia/transphobia, ageism and other issues that interfere with our aging with dignity and respect.

This group will be limited to 6-8 participants. To reserve your space, please contact the facilitator, Jamie Hatzis, LMSW at (631)-737-5559 or at jhatzis@freedmancenter.org.
