OutLine is an all-ages rainbow mental health organisation providing support to the rainbow community, their friends, whānau, and those questioning. We provide a nationwide, free and confidential 0800 support line for people who want to speak to a trained volunteer from the rainbow community. We also provide specialist rainbow counselling and an Auckland based trans and non-binary peer support service. Free call 0800 OUTLINE or visit outline.org.nz between 6pm-9pm for support. It’s free & confidential. Some of the topics people call to talk about include family relationships, loneliness and isolation, sexuality and gender identity, sexual health, navigating gender-affirming healthcare and meeting people, Our support line and chat service is answered by LGBTIQ+ people who have trained to help others over the phone on issues around rainbow identities and experiences. Currently the organisation has over 40 telephone volunteers who have all undertaken ongoing training and supervision.
