Free To Be You is a drop in afternoon for young people in Port Stephens who identify as LGBTQIA+ or who are questioning their sexuality or gender identity.

Free To Be You is held at The Deck in Raymond Terrace from 2:00pm – 5:00pm every second Monday during school terms. The Group is open to young people aged 12 -20 years of age.

group activities;
positive role models;
discussions on current LGBTQIA+ politics or topics relevant to this group;
resources on local LGBTQIA+ services, resources, supports and other youth services.
