What we’re about
What are Men's Community Couch Conversations?
Bent Couch hosts this gay, bi, trans, queer (GBTQ) men's online space to learn, listen, share, and be heard. Topics will be guided by participants but may include loneliness, sexual health difficulties, stress, anxiety, or depression.
What happens during these sessions?
These facilitated online group gatherings provide a safe place where GBTQ men in similar circumstances can come together to form connections, make friends and talk openly about their issues.
What’s the benefit of attending?
Men's Community Couch Conversations provide you with:
- a safe space free of judgement where your privacy and vulnerability is treated with the upmost respect and understanding,
- connection with others who have similar issues or interests,
- a voice and promotes social interaction.
Who runs it?
Shaun, our facilitator, is a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association. Having dealt with many complicated issues himself, and as a gay man coming out later in life, he understands many of the difficulties that men need to talk about on the couch.
