Queer through Saxony offers online counseling as a stand-alone format
Since 2018, the counselors of “Queer through Saxony” have been on the road throughout eastern Saxony to support queer people and their relatives through counseling and accompaniment.
Due to the COVID Pandemic, many people can no longer be so flexible on the road.
Others could not or not to the full extent use our offer due to various conditions (e.g. work and training times, family involvement, etc.) even independently of COVID. Since January 2022, we have been offering online counseling as an independent format for queer people in Eastern Saxony (except Dresden).
For this purpose, we use Zoom or the DGSVO-compliant platform sichere-videokonferenz.de.
Contact will be made exclusively via email. Please write – with indication of your district – a message to online-beratung@gerede-dresden.de.
