Get help from a LGBTQ-friendly hotline in Northern Ireland

Many people struggle with being confident in their sexual and gender identity. It can be hard to grapple with this because of the discrimination many lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people still face today. Fortunately, there are 1 helplines in Northern Ireland that can support you if you relate to the following:

Feeling sexually attracted to people of the same gender as you
Feeling isolated from your family friends because of how you identify
Feelings of anxiety about not being accepted for who you really are
Not knowing where to get or how to wear a binder
Feeling like how you are on the outside doesn't represent who you are on the inside
Wanting to come out but not knowing how
Experiencing homophobia or transphobia from family or friends
A sense of wrongness about the gender you were assigned at birth

As someone who identifies as LGBTQ, or as someone who is questioning their gender or sexual identity, you may feel isolated. Unfortunately, there are still people out there who are homophobic and transphobic. Worrying about social rejection can make it hard to express your true self with pride.

If you're experiencing problems because you identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, help is available in Northern Ireland. You can reach out at any time and get connected to a caring LGBTQ-friendly volunteer or counselor. Helpline listeners will offer you respectful, affirming care no matter what you're going through.

If you think you might need support with your gender & sexual identity today, consider contacting a helpline in Northern Ireland for free, confidential help.
