TAPP community centers that (office, in a church, or under a tree) have become places of healing for those who feel the wounds of stigmatization in their communities. It is also simply a place for people with shared experiences to tell stories and find friendship. As you spend time with these groups, you get a sense of people who know that they belong here.

As a TAPP staff facilitates one-on-one counseling, these are the times when our friends have a chance to heal each other in a group while they are healed themselves. It is a beautiful thing that can only be fully understood if you are able to sit and share with our sisters and brothers in their presence.

No one stays the same.
