Children
Around the Rainbow is a Family Services program that provides education, counselling and support services to 2SLGBTQI+ families and individuals. Our objective is always to improve 2SLGBTQI+ inclusion in all environments.
Centre33, in Kanata, Ottawa, is a community organization dedicated to supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ children, youth, and their families. Our mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, and accessible space that fosters visibility and empowerment within the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
Our helpline is staffed by peer support volunteers, who are all 2SLGBTQ+ youth aged 16-29, living across
Ontario. They aren't professional counsellors, but are trained in active listening, anti-racism, harm reduction, and topics related to gender and sexuality. Whether you're questioning your identity, dealing with family, feeling lonely, or just want to chat, we're here for it.
Get in touch with a peer support volunteer; Sunday to Friday, 4:00PM to 9:30PM EST.
