I’m a trans woman, am I allowed to attend the women’s group? Yes, absolutely, the women’s group is for everyone who identifies as a woman. If you feel that womanhood is part of your identity, you are welcome to attend.

I’m a trauma survivor, can I speak about my experiences? Yes, you can talk about anything that you’d like to get off your chest, even if it’s difficult, dark or traumatic. The group will listen and support you.

Do I have to talk about issues specific to women? No, you can talk about absolutely anything in the group! This could be issues relating to your identity as a woman, or it could be anything that’s going on in your life. This is a safe space for people who identify as women to talk about anything that’s on their mind.

Do I need to have my camera on? We ask all of our members to keep their camera on for the whole meeting so that our members can see who they are talking in order to make them feel safe and comfortable. There are times when a member may not feel comfortable showing their face in the group and we would ask you to email service@changesbristol.org.uk ahead of the meeting to explain why. If it is agreed that you can have your camera turned off, you should still always show your face at the start of the meeting and briefly after the break. Members and facilitators want to ensure that privacy is maintained and that includes yours.

Is there someone who can answer my questions first? Absolutely! We know that joining a new group can be daunting. If you want to know more about how the groups work, click here. If this doesn’t help to answer your question, please email: freya@changesbristol.org.uk
