So, if you identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Questioning or other, and you are keen to get involved then please come along to our FREE awesome groups or social events. 

Facilitated by peer moderators and volunteers, these events also welcome friends and allies.

Note: We currently are not running any over 18s LGBTQIA+ social events, however we often partner and collaborate with Out Loud and Proud Port Macquarie (OLP) who run local events for adults in the queer community. As supporters of Headspace, OLP often offer sweet discounts to their events, so if you are a client of ours aged 18-25yrs, then email headspaceCE@each.com.au to see what's on. If you wish to know more about this local organisation or get involved you can connect via their Facebook here
