Lesbian mums

Being a lesbian/Queer mum comes with its own challenges, and drummond street has had lots of experience working though the kinds of issues specific to lesbian mums, including

• having a known donor
• having an unknown donor
• gender conscious parenting

“It was great to talk to someone who understood the complexities in how our relationship fitted into my wider family, it was a great place to come and very relaxed”

The support we offer comes in a range of formats. You might come in for couples counselling, or family counselling, you might attend a series of workshops, or come to a regular group. Keep an eye on the calendar to see what is coming up, or contact the Queer services coordinator if you identify a gap that we could address.

“It was so good to be able to talk to other lesbians about raising boys, my partner and I really struggled when our four year old seemed to become obsessed with pretend violent play, and we had no clue how to tackle it. Turns out we weren’t alone!”
