Rainbow Support Groups
The Rainbow Groups are for LGBTQ+ self-advocates with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Support Groups
We run an online Rainbow Group that is open to LGBTQ+ people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their friends from all over the country. That group meets on Zoom and is facilitated by LGBTQ+ self-advocates. We also help get groups started all over Massachusetts and we work with sister groups in other states.
