Art, mentorship, and belonging

Community programs create low-pressure places to make, learn, talk, and build supportive relationships.

Groups are grounded in respect and stigma-free connection. They are not a substitute for emergency or clinical care.

Programs shaped with communities

GTI works with local organizations to understand needs and reduce barriers to participation.

Partners can contact us about hosting, referrals, outreach, or collaborative prevention activities.
