What Is a Group Session?

You might:

  (like in The Whole Cutlery Drawer, a spoon-theory–themed disability support group — [sign up here])

  (on going- drop in)

What Is A Gender-Affirming Care?

A Gender-Affirming Care Support Session is a dedicated space for people ages 5+ and 16+ (for sessions involving paperwork or letters) to connect with Dizzy about your gender journey and goals for affirming care.

Sessions can take place individually or with supportive loved ones — in family or relationship/couples formats — depending on what feels most supportive for you.

Together, we’ll explore where you’re at, what supports are already in place, and what you’re needing next.

Sessions Can Include:

• Completing forms or letters to access hormone therapy and/or gender-affirming surgery (16+)

• Finding gender-inclusive resources, providers, and supportive community spaces

• Talking through what transition means to you — including hopes, expectations, and values

• Exploring your current and future support systems

• Accessing the free Rainbow Closet (affirming clothing & gear swap)
  
  

⏳ Gender-Affirming Care Session Lengths:

• Long-Term / Ongoing Care — continued care and support with no set end date, focusing on affirmation, exploration, and sustained well-being

• Short-Term Care — focused support for specific gender-affirming goals, such as paperwork, advocacy, or resource navigation

• One-Time Sessions (2 hours) — a single, extended session for:

  • 🏳️‍⚧️ Affirming Paperwork (e.g., Hormone Therapy, surgery, or gender marker changes)

  • 🧭 Exploration & Planning (e.g., transition goals, coming out plans, or care coordination)

What Are Body Doubling Sessions?

Body Doubling Sessions

Work alongside Dizzy — either in person or virtually — to plan, focus, and complete tasks in a supportive, non-judgmental space.

Body Doubling offers shared structure, gentle accountability, and collaborative energy. You can work side-by-side(quietly or with check-ins) or collaboratively (planning, breaking tasks down, and celebrating progress together).

Helpful For:

• Day-to-day responsibilities and routines

• School or work projects

• Creative endeavours and unfinished ideas

• Administrative or “life stuff” that feels hard to start

You share the task or goal — together, we’ll structure the session to support your focus, momentum, and self-compassion along the way.

What Is A Resourcing Session?

• Filling out disability forms or accessing related supports
