The Challenge

While many members of Australia’s LGBTQ communities lead healthy, happy lives, a large proportion experience higher levels of depression, anxiety and distress – not because of who they are, but because many experiences hate, discrimination and exclusion.

Demand for counselling always exceeds ACON’s ability to meet the needs of LGBTQ Australians.

ACON provides a range of services that address many of the mental health issues experienced by LGBTQ communities. ACON’s counselling programs and support services bolster strength and resilience, significantly improving the health and wellbeing of LGBTQ people and their families.
