Anxiety and Depression
Windsor Pride Community celebrates and supports all Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Questioning people. From time to time some individuals benefit from increased support for anxiety and depression. Know that you are not alone- there are others like you who live in the Windsor Essex County region. LGBTIQ people are some of the strongest people on the planet. Seeking medical help from your doctor or health team is good advice. Seeking counseling and participating in a support group can help.

Looking for a support group?
Windsor Pride Community in collaboration with Family Service Windsor Essex County and the Windsor Family Health Team offers a Support Group especially for Anxiety and Depression. Windsor Pride groups are facilitated by qualified social workers and certified counselors. Groups meet weekly. This will be closed group which means the group leader will first meet the individual privately to determine needs. Our groups meet at several locations throughout Windsor so that your participation can be private, and confidentiality can be assured. Check the website for the latest information about locations, dates and times. This will be a chance to listen and share common experiences from your own life. Your health and safety are very important.
