Incase you need a little extra support...
Sometimes in life we all get a little bit wobbly and need to
lean on our Brotherhood to support us. At Blue Boys we are not trained practitioners
for mental health however we support and connect those who are. Below is a
small list of fantastic resources who can provide support on topics such as; queer
mental health, suicide prevention, sexual health information, trans issues, HIV support plus many more.

heart of everything they do. Offering advice and services around health care, sexual health, recovery, abuse and trans
