Even though there is an increasing acceptance of LGBTI people in society and greater visibility in the media and public life, many LGBTI people still experience discrimination, harassment and violence at work, school and in social situations. Interrelate is committed to providing safe, accessible, inclusive, respectful and meaningful services to enhance the wellbeing of the LGBTI persons. Interrelate will address the discriminatory, attitudinal and social barriers affecting LGBTI individuals, families and communities. Interrelate acknowledges the historical and current human rights abuses against LGBTI people. As relationship experts we will stand alongside our LGBTI communities to address discrimination and promote respect and equity for ALL families.
