Interligne is a front-line centre for help and information for people affected by sexual diversity and gender diversity. Through our 24-hour service, we provide support to LGBTQ+ people, their loved ones and community, school, health and social service staff. Through our outreach activities, we also promote a greater openness of society towards the realities of LGBTQ+ people.
At Interligne, everyone is united around common values. Our actions are primarily aimed at restoring LGBTQ+ communities their power to act while ensuring their inclusion in the different spheres of society. None of this would be possible if our work was not imbued with benevolence and a thirst for social justice for everyone.
