– Connect those in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community with more experience and more to give with those seeking help or someone to talk to.
Launched in 2020 amid the Covid-19 pandemic and heightened social isolation, the warm line endeavours to create a sense of connection, community, and hope for its callers.
