Our Community Center
Our LGBTQIA+ Community Center is Moving!
We’re thrilled to announce that Positive Images is moving into a brand-new, expanded space in Santa Rosa! This exciting new chapter allows us to double the size of our community room, create a dedicated staff lounge and kitchen we’ll share with our friends at Latino Service Providers, and give our beloved programs—like the Transformation Station and Queer Library—the space they truly deserve.
Our new center will remain a vibrant hub of support and resources, offering everything you’ve come to count on: a well-stocked community pantry, gender-affirming clothing and supplies, access to computers and wifi, and one-on-one support from our compassionate team. We’ll also continue to host weekly peer-run mental health support groups, culturally and linguistically responsive therapy, social activities, and QTBIPOC-centered programs—all in a welcoming, substance-free, and stigma-free environment.
📍 We’ll be moving in throughout August, but you can still visit us at our current center (200 Montgomery Drive) through the end of the month.
💖 Help us build the center our community deserves—
Are You New? Let’s Get to Know Each Other!
While not required, prospective members who would like a personal introduction and orientation may simply contact us at info@posimages.org or call 707-568-5830. The orientation typically takes 20 minutes and includes a tour of the building.
Drop-In Hours: Tuesday through Friday, 12 to 6pm.
(Please note: hours may shift slightly during our move—stay tuned on Instagram @positiveimages for updates!)

Our Community Aspirations
We work hard to provide a space for everyone to be authentically themselves. We aspire to be a space that works for everyone. To guide us toward that aspiration, we hold the following community agreements:
Keep It Here.
The nature of our program's services are confidential. Who we see and what we share must remain confidential for the safety and privacy of the members.
Embrace All Bodies.
This is a body-positive, fat-positive, food-positive, sex-positive space.
Language Matters.
Mutual respect. For everyone, including yourself. Be mindful of self-deprecating language and demeaning others–even when joking.
Anchored in Goodwill.
This is a supportive space. Come with positive intent and assume it in others. When appropriate, practice calling folks in instead of calling folks out. Approach conversations with curiosity and ask clarifying questions rather than making assumptions of meaning or intent. Listen for understanding.
Respect Boundaries
Be aware of personal space, consent, and comfort level of others.
Speak with Empathy.
Assume we’re in the room – if you’re going to talk about a lived experience or identity, assume you’re talking to a room where someone has had that experience or holds that identity.
Commitment to Anti-Racism.
We don’t tolerate racial or ethnic prejudice whatsoever; we actively challenge racism, prejudice, and forms of discrimination, including implicit bias and microaggressions.
Embrace Diverse Abilities.
We want this to be a space where self care is both encouraged and prioritized. Not all ability needs are apparent; please respect that people will set their own boundaries, respect them as they are set.
Be Present.
Please come to PI not under the influence of substances that will disconnect you from others.
Fostering Friendships.
Let’s make this a welcoming space that’s easy to be new in.
Promote Support.
We want this to be a space where it is safe and encouraged to ask for help when you need it.
