Befriending

Are you uncertain of your gender identity or need to talk to someone who understands what gender dysphoria is about?

Through a buddy system, we can support by:

Providing a listening ear
Sharing resources that provide additional support and encouragement
Sharing resources related to transitioning (if needed)*
Providing intermediary support between you and our professional counselling partners to build a holistic support system
Encourage you to step out of your comfort zone

Our sessions are conducted mainly over Telegram, and face-to-face meet-ups at our premises upon request.
*We do not provide financial support or medical advices/items. However, we can refer you to medical professionals upon request.
