Looking Out For Each Other
CPR certification, cancer support, and expanding health resources built from a bear perspective.
[PLACEHOLDER — replace with real copy] The Health and Wellness Committee exists to make sure every Bear in South Florida has the resources, information, and support to take care of himself — physically and mentally.
We build our programming from a gay perspective, because generic health advice doesn’t always account for our community’s real risks, relationships, and lives. Everything below is free, confidential, and open to the whole Bear community.
What We Offer

BOSFL Cancer Support
A confidential, peer-led space for gay men and their significant others navigating cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. We build community, reduce isolation, and share resources that support members’ unique medical, emotional, and social needs at every stage of their journey.
Have a health resource to suggest, a class you’d like to see, or a question you’d rather ask a Bear than a stranger?
We’re here, and we’re listening. Reach out here.
