Aotearoa’s rainbow rangatahi are loved. We’re here for them and we’re here for you.

Be There workshops

In 2024, we’re running a second series of Be There workshops, online and around the country, for parents and whānau of young people who are trans, non-binary, takatāpui, queer, fa’afafine, have other rainbow identities or are still figuring out their gender and sexuality.

Facilitated by InsideOUT Kōaro's education team, these free workshops are designed to help you feel more confident supporting your rainbow whānau, with pointers on where you can go if you need more information or advice.
