drummond street hosts a regular gay dads group, and also provides services to support gay dads with the kinds of issues that are specific to their experience, as well as the things that arise for all families.

Bringing up children as a gay man can bring many issues. We can work with you on issues such as

• homophobia
• surrogacy
• co-parenting
• gender conscious parenting
• talking about your rainbow family
• dealing with government and other authorities

Of course, all families share the challenges of parenting, we can support you around issues like

• infertility
• couple communication
• parenting all aged children
• family counselling
• work/life balance
• separation

The support we offer comes in a range of formats. You might come in for couples counselling, or family counselling, you might attend a series of workshops, or come to a regular group. Keep an eye on the calendar to see what is coming up, or contact the Queer services coordinator if you identify a gap that we could address.
