HOW YOU CAN HELP US: Please consider taking this brief Mental Health Interest Form to share with us your interests/preferences related to developing support groups, trainings, and offerings at our center.
19+ SUPPORT GROUP UPDATE: Due to space limitations, and to protect the group process, pre-registration is required for the 19+ LGBTQ+ Support Group. Each group session will have a new registration, so registration will be required for each offering. No one will be admitted after 6:00 p.m., even if you have pre-registered. Registration will open the Thursday before the next group at 6pm. If you have never been to Omaha ForUs before, you will need to allow an extra 10-15 minutes to check-in before group.

“I worry about what will happen to me as I get older. When I lost my partner of 31 years to cancer I had no one I could talk to. Everyone at the grief groups I found were straight … I was so uncomfortable, I went once and never went back.”

“If you want kids to stay here in Nebraska, we need somewhere to go that’s not a bar. And something to do that’s not thinking about going to a bar. Gay bars can’t be our only source of community, or we’ll leave the first chance we get.”

“It’s just not the same if a program or service is built to serve someone else then suddenly opened to LGBTQ+ people. We deserve people trained, places built, and things designed for us - just like anyone else.”
“The place in which I’ll fit will not exist until I make it.”
