community center

Helem’s Community Center is the cornerstone of our work in supporting LGBTIQs and other persons with non-conforming sexuality or gender identity in Lebanon. Open to all 6 days a week from 12 pm to 8 pm from Monday to Friday and from 3 pm to 5 pm on Saturdays, the Community Center offers a variety of services for visitors for a symbolic fee or free of charge, in addition to housing a growing library of books and films. The Center also acts as a safe space for visitors who just want to come and relax in a friendly, non-judgmental atmosphere.

You can also benefit from Helem's 24 hour Helpline (70 123687), run by a team of trained and authorised volunteers who are ready to answer your questions about HIV/AIDS, sexual and mental health, social and legal problems.

The center is also a focal point for referral to almost free sexual and psychological health services in addition to legal support.
