The Iceberg Foundation

About

At The Iceberg Foundation, we are dedicated to providing a safe space and support for LGBTIQA+ and neurodivergent people. We are a community-led and operated mental health organisation committed to creating a thriving queer community. We strive for allyship in all we do and are a queer and neurodivergent led and operated service.

We understand that everyone’s journey is unique, and we respect people’s lived and living experiences both in the present and historically.

Our goal is to provide a non-judgmental environment for people of all backgrounds. With our personalised support and guidance, we strive to provide the best care and support for the diversity of the rainbow communities.
