Anyone have any group ideas/activies that incorporate LGBTQ needs, ideas, values into a group setting? The group has primarily LGBTQ individual but with a few supportive allies. All have SUD. Any idea would be super helpful!

I think a lot of this can just revolve around self-worth, and remembering that other people's opinion of them isn't any of their business. Explore their values, and if their sexual identity has worked against those values or if those ideals came from somewhere else (ie religion/religious family members) and just identifying boundaries of loved ones who may not accept them for who they love. Explore if any of that was linked to their use (I'm thinking maybe shame related). Hope that helps.
