Please be thoughtful of your community and sign up for a maximum of two sessions so we may serve as many people as possible at https://p4l-queercareday.eventbrite.com. The first Queer Care Day was launched at Reunion in June, 2017 in partnership with Howard Brown Health to provide free, all ages, intersectional programming to the LGBTQ community focused on wellness as an alternative to the nightlife-centered events typically offered Pride Month. Along with its community partners, Reunion's Queer Care Days aim to boost self-esteem and generate community connection.
