Connect with the Affirmation Community
Being a part of a strong community of support is critical to the wellbeing of all people. Affirmation provides many opportunities for LGBTQ Mormons, their family members, and their friends to connect with others in the Affirmation community to find understanding, support, and to offer support to others. From staying connected to Affirmation by subscribing to emails, to helping local chapters of Affirmation thrive, you can decide what level of connection is right for you.
