Help us shape a new Later in Life resource for our community

To make sure this guide truly reflects real families and lived experiences, we’re forming a small community advisory group and we’d love you to be part of it.


We’re looking for:

• Lesbians, gay men, bi and queer folks

• Trans and gender diverse people

• Parents and carers who came out or began questioning later in life

• People with lived experience (not professional expertise, your story is enough)


What’s involved:

• 3 x Zoom sessions

• Around 1 hour each

• Sharing feedback, ideas, and lived experiences

• Helping us shape language, topics, and what families actually need


Why we’re doing this:

• To centre real voices, not assumptions

• To create something that feels safe, validating, and practical

• To make sure no parent feels alone in this season of life


If this sounds like you (or someone you know), we’d love to connect.

 Email Petria here: [email protected]  and we’ll send you the details.
