Coloring and Chatting – Spirit Day (10/15/2020)

Description:

Sometimes we just need a bit of time to chill, connect with others, chat, and color!  Find your favorite coloring book or sketch pad, or download a coloring page from the web.  As we color, we talk about whatever moves us – and share the results of our beautiful coloring at the end of the session.
[October 15, 2020 is also Spirit Day – so we can share our Go Purple Spirit to support LGBTQ youth in a united stand against bullying.]

ABOUT events

FORGE and Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin, Inclusion Health Clinic have created a series of events for trans+/non-binary community members, loved ones, and supporters, to come together for support, connection, learning, and empowerment.  Participants will have the opportunity to find community, feel less isolated, and learn new skills and information.
Initiated in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many topics focus on medical and mental health issues, coping strategies, access to public benefits, links to resources, where/how to access support, creative expression, and some time to have some fun.
Sit back. Or lean in.
If you miss the live events, many will be recorded!  (Recordings available at: https://www.youtube.com/c/FORGEForwardTrans)
