Peer Support Groups
“If you dream alone, it’s just a dream. If you dream together, it’s reality.”
– Brazilian proverb
Q-LAND believes that men who share common wellness visions and challenges can help one another learn practical, effective, and creative ways to reach their visions and overcome their challenges. We are currently forming the following peer-led support groups. If you don’t find a support group to help you with your most important vision or challenge, please let us know, and we’ll try to hook you up with other men with a similar commitment to start a peer support group; contact us at
BEAT-THE-BLUES: Men’s Depression Peer-Support Group, 1st & 3rd Sundays monthly, 6-8 pm
DATING LAB SUPPORT GROUP
lST & 3rd Thursdays each month, 7-9 pm
In this fun, practical support group you’ll explore with other men:
• What intimacy is for you & what kinds of intimacies you want;
• Your habitual intimacy challenges;
• Your intimacy strengths & skills;
• Practical experiments to try in the work-shop & in your life for dating & intimacy
• Asking for concrete support to help you implement what you’ve learned & sustain learning after the workshop
This workshop is not about experts telling us the answers. It is about us supporting one another to find the intimacy visions and strategies that work for each of us. And most of all it’s about figuring out what you can do differently in the real world to get more of the intimacy you want – and get the support to follow through.
