Introduction to Supporting Those at Risk for the LGBTQ+ Community

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and Omaha ForUs is partnering with AFSP Nebraska to offer two opportunities to learn more about suicide prevention and what we can do within our communities to support each other. This training, Supporting Those at Risk, is Wednesday, May 29 from 6:00-7:30 at Omaha ForUs.

About the training:

When someone in your life attempts suicide or experiences suicidal thoughts, it can be difficult to know how to best support them in their recovery.

In the context of this presentation, the term “lived experience” refers to someone's experience with suicidal thoughts and/or a past suicide attempt.

Suggested Participants:

  • Those who have supported or are supporting a loved one who has struggled or attempted suicide.

  • Those interested in learning more, because anyone may need to support someone at some point in time.

*Note: Registration is required, and participants must be at least 18 years or older to attend. Please note: This training is limited to 16 participants.

Sounds of Sappho: LGBTQ+ Open Mic Night

Omaha For Us presents Sounds of Sappho: A Sapphic Open Mic Night. On March 7th from 5:30-7pm, delight in the creative spirit of other LGBT+ individuals in this open mic night themed around all things Sapphic. This event is open to all sapphic or not; however, staying on theme is much encouraged! If you just want to perform, that's cool too!


"Sapphic" is a term which refers broadly to women who are attracted to other women whether they identify as lesbian, bisexual, queer, trans, masc, femme, or any diverse identity falling within the spectrum of same-sex attractions. This term comes from the Ancient Greek poet Sappho. 

"I cannot weave - slender Aphrodite has overcome me with longing for a girl." -Sappho, 500B.C., inventing the phrase 'Too gay to function.'
