STRIDE is offering peer support groups in Fall 2026 to support trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse students at UC San Diego. These groups provide community, connection, and space to explore identity, well-being and shared experiences across the quarter.
Mondays 11 a.m., Week 4 (10/19) — Week 10 (11/30), Triton Health and Wellness Building, 3rd Floor – Multipurpose Room
Join us for a gentle, body-based self-care 101. We’ll blend movement, stretching, music, and breath work with psychoeducation on the body and nervous system. Learn simple nervous-system reset tools, strengthen introspection, and reconnect with your body in a supportive, low-pressure space.
Thursdays 1 p.m., Week 3 (10/15) — Week 10 (12/3), Via Zoom
This virtual group is a welcoming space for trans and queer people who think they might be neurodivergent. Whether you identify as autistic, ADHD, self-diagnosed, questioning, or simply curious about neurodiversity, you are welcome here. Meeting online helps create a more accessible environment where folx can feel comfortable unmasking and showing up as themselves. Together we’ll explore the intersection of neurodivergence and queer or trans identity, share experiences, and build community.
Tuesdays 1 p.m., Week 3 (10/13) — Week 10 (12/1), LGBT Resource Center Conference Room
Are you questioning your gender? Do you need a space to discuss your gender identity with others who may be going through the same thing? This group allows students to explore their thoughts and feelings related to their gender identity. Join this group to build community, share experiences, and get support while navigating the world outside the gender binary. No matter where you are on the gender spectrum, you are welcome here!
