Programs and Interest Groups

- Coming Out Later In Life: This peer-led discussion
group meets on first and third
Thursdays. “It’s
never too late to find that the ongoing issues of coming
out are shared by others in our community. Our group
operates much like a live chat room. Sometimes the
discussion is quiet and reserved, sometimes it’s passionate
and all over the place. We keep coming back because
the issues are real, important and need to be aired
for our own personal reflection and decision making.
We talk, listen, and find connections, support, understanding,
and direction about relationships, acceptance,
health, being alone, our personal ‘ups and downs,’ our
dreams and our nightmares. It’s our stories, it’s our
group and you are welcome to join us -- once, twice, for
however long you get something from it.”
- Women’s Coffeehouse: Fourth
Friday. Coffeehouses will be
tailored to women’s interests. Games and
movies will be on hand, and some women have expressed
interest in poetry readings and music, which may be incorporated
in the future.
- Men's Night Out: First and third Friday. Join other Sage folks for
pizza, soft drinks, and fun. Come and play board
games or cards, watch a movie, hang out with old pals and
make new friends.
- Empowerment Group HERS: Group for Women: The group, facilitated by
Susan White, MA, explores issues related to
aging and relationships with friends, partners,
and ourselves.
- Men’s Empowerment Group: Work on
issues related to LGBT seniors with other men in a safe
and friendly group with facilitator David Bullard, LMSW.
