Queerspace eNews
In light of the recent events that have taken place, the importance of community has become even more apparent. Now more than ever, we need to come together as a community along with our allies to support one another and to raise awareness about the issues that impact us. Allies need to stand in solidarity with our transgender and gender non-conforming siblings, who are commonly marginalised and face discrimination on a daily basis, particularly of late.
Lets use this time as an opportunity to amplify Trans voices, listen to their stories and to celebrate their resilience and strength. It’s a chance for us to show our support and to advocate for their rights.
We Are Here
We acknowledge parts of the community are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. First Nations people, QTIPOC, Asylum seekers, refugees and international students show continued resilience, strength and determination. The sex worker and hospitality industries have been hit hard and members of the LGBTIQA+ communities working in these industries have faced job losses and financial stress.
We want to let you know we support you, we are here for you. If you need support please get in touch.
All of our services are continuing via telehealth and online including individual, relationships and family counselling. Peer support groups are also continuing online. For more information go to ‘Our Programs’ tab or Contact us.
Need Support?
We are here to support you. All of our services are still available. Queerspace acknowledges some communities will be disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. We are working collaboratively with different orgs to respond to needs arising from the communities we serve. We are here to support you.
