Description

Thorne Harbour Health is launching a new peer support group for LGBTQIA+ women who have been affected by cancer.

This group offers a welcoming, inclusive and confidential space to connect with others who understand the unique experiences and challenges of navigating cancer as an LGBTQIA+ woman.

Whether you are newly diagnosed, currently undergoing treatment, in recovery or living with advanced cancer, you are welcome to join. The group is open to people affected by all types of cancer and at any stage of their journey.

Facilitated by two peers with lived experience of cancer, these sessions provide an opportunity to share experiences, build connections and find support within a community that understands.

This inaugural session marks the beginning of what we hope will become a monthly peer support group, creating an ongoing space for connection, understanding and community.

Whether you feel comfortable sharing your story or would simply prefer to listen, you're welcome to participate in whatever way feels right for you.

Thorne Harbour Health has a long, rich and diverse history, working with and for LGBTI communities and people living with HIV. Founded on 12 July 1983 as the Victorian AIDS Action Committee, the organisation has led the community response to the rising HIV/AIDS epidemic in Victoria and beyond. Today, Thorne Harbour Health remains committed to the community response to HIV while also supporting the health and wellbeing of LGBTI communities more broadly.

Thorne Harbour recognises our past by paying tribute to community leaders like Alison Thorne and Keith Harbour but also our community’s legacy of bravery, commitment, imagination, and vision —now and into the future.
