Social & Support Groups at Compass
Compass' safe, state-of-the-arts facility in the heart of downtown Lake Worth is home to professional and therapeutic, support, social, discussion and health related groups. Many of our support groups are peer-led, which guarantees you'll be speaking to someone with lived experience who can relate to what you are going through.
Our groups are separated into two categories: Social Groups and Support Groups
Social groups focus on meeting other like-minded individuals and connecting with the community. Support groups focus on providing advice and support from facilitators and other members of the group.
Our groups are available for free to anyone who needs them. If you have any questions about our groups, please call 561.533.9699 or email Compass@CompassLGBTQ.com
