Parenting LGBTQi

Parents/Whanau of LGBTQi+ individuals

YMCA in Timaru runs a support group for family/whanau/friends of LGBTQi+ teens. This safe space for any adults who have people who they know are LGBTQi+, or want to support friends who have family members who are LGBTQi+. This is a safe space to share information, laugh, cry, and generally connect with other adults in our community over a cuppa and a biscuit. Share as much as you like, or just come to listen and gain knowledge.

CONTACT: natasha@ymca.org.nz to register your interest, or phone the YMCA on: 03 6883682
