Worq It Out: An LGBTQ Worker Support Group
August 22, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Mental Health and Self-Care is super important for workers to build resilient and just be, you know — HUMAN. So this month, API Chaya and LGBTQ Allyship are centering our WORQ It Out meeting on Arts and Crafts! We will come together to just be creative and talk about what’s going on in life, and learn a little bit more about Paid Sick and Safe time law AKA your right to take time care of yourself without worrying about being able to pay your bills. Join us! RSVP NOW: https://goo.gl/forms/qVAwmi1UbvSib2OL2
LGBTQ Allyship will be hosting Worq It Out, a monthly LGBTQ Worker support group to help build community and connect LGBTQ workers to resources if they face discrimination and hardship at work.
It can often be isolating to be one of few, or the only, LGBTQ identified folx at the workplace. Worq It Out is meant to help workers share their experiences, discuss changes they would like to see, and get more information for assistance that exists for them.
Meetings will occur on the fourth Tuesday of every month. We will meet at the Washington State Labor Council Hall located at 321 16th Ave S, Seattle 98144.
For more information, please contact our Community Facilitator, Laurie Rocello Torres at laurie@allyship.org
