## About the program

Moving because of persecution is hard, and being an LGBTQ+ asylum seeker adds more layers.

## What we do

A peer support group for LGBTQ+ immigrants in the US, held in Russian: a safe place to talk about language barriers, culture shock, the immigration system and hope.

## Our impact

In 2025 we held 29 support group and mental health sessions.
