Gender support
Service types: Advocacy, Education and training, Information & support, LGBTQIA+ support, Social work, Youth mentoring / development.
Our Transgender Peer Support Service is to help gender-diverse young people (up to age 27) and/or their whānau, explore gender identity through accessing gender-affirming healthcare, providing information and resources, and assist in creating connection and community with other gender-diverse people.
This means we can help with things like: referrals for gender-affirming healthcare, attending peer-support groups, finding relevant and relatable resources, advocating at work and/or at school, finding clothes in our community wardrobe, name and gender marker changes, etc. Let us know what support you need on your gender journey and we'll do our best to make it happen!
