A place to be you - even for parents and workers

Twenty10 believes that parents, families and community services are vital partners in creating a safe environment for same-sex attracted and gender diverse young people.

In providing that space, families and communities are also often in need of support.

This page of our website will soon have plenty of information on support services for parents, training available for schools and community services and plenty of helpful resources.

In the meantime, if you have any questions please call our office on (02) 8594 9555 or e-mail info@twenty10.org.au

Thank you for your patience.
