For LGBTQ+ folk in Singapore who need to reach out to queer-affirming channels and providers for help, we have compiled a list of such channels here.

This post is a continuation of “Where To Get LGBT Support & Counselling In Asia: Hotlines To Call To Find Help”, expanding on LGBTQ-affirming providers in Singapore that provide other services instead of helplines.

This list includes providers that offer counselling services and befriending support. These providers are sometimes staffed by volunteers, so do take note of this when reaching out.

Prout is also working together with Singapore LGBTQ+ community groups Pink Dot SG and Sayoni to crowdsource an extensive list of LGBTQ-affirming mental health professionals from folks who have received the care and services of such professionals.

If you would like to get advice specific to your case, please drop the following profiles a direct message on Instagram to find out more:
