Way Underground Episode 4: Coming Out

Members of the Way Underground team share some of their experiences of growing up as part of the LGBTQIA+ community and coming out as well as  some of the challenges facing queer youth in regional areas

Here are some great links for LGBTQIA+ young people to connect with, particularly if this episode brings up anything you want to talk about:

QLIFE is a helpline that is peer-led, so its for LGBTQIA+ people and the person answering the phone will always be a part of the community. 

Maple Leaf House is our closest Gender Affirming health care centre, based in Newcastle.

The Gender Centre is a service for Trans & Gender Diverse people based in Sydney but servicing NSW.

Minus18 has online resources and holds gender-affirming events for queer youth 

Twenty10 housing and case management support for LGBTQIA+ youth based in Sydney

Our podcast recorded on Darkinjung Country at Kincumber Neighbourhood Centre Youth Space as part of the NSW Government Regional Youth Radio Program
