Stonewall Inn Peer Support Groups
What Are Peer Support Groups?
At Sisters PGH, we know that healing isn’t just about one-on-one therapy—it’s about being seen, held, and supported by your people. Our Peer Support Groups are designed to be safe, hype, and healing spaces where trans and nonbinary folks can link up, vibe out, and talk through real-life struggles with others who truly get it.
Whether you're new to this journey or deep in your self-care era, these biweekly groups offer a space to connect, vent, celebrate wins, and process what’s heavy. Everything is grounded in care, community, and zero judgment. Come as you are—we’ll meet you there.
