Important: Helpline numbers and availability may change. We do our best to keep this list accurate, but please verify details on the organisation's own website before calling. haven.lgbt is not affiliated with any of the organisations listed. If you cannot find a helpline for your country, please visit iasp.info or befrienders.org for a comprehensive global directory.

You think differently. That's not a flaw.

Neurodivergent people face unique challenges navigating a world not designed for their minds. haven is a space that adapts to you — not the other way around.

ADHD

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder affects focus, impulse control, and emotional regulation. Our community welcomes you at your own pace, with no pressure to perform.

Autism

Autistic people deserve spaces that respect communication differences, sensory needs, and the way you experience the world. No masking required here.

Dyslexia & Dyspraxia

Reading, writing, and coordination challenges are part of a different way of processing — not a deficit. We communicate in ways that work for everyone.

Dyscalculia & Processing Differences

Whether you process information differently in maths, language, or sensory experiences — you are valid, and your experience is real.

Tourette's & OCD

Tic disorders, obsessive thoughts, and compulsive behaviours are complex and widely misunderstood. We listen without assumptions and without stigma.

Sensory Processing Differences

Our online spaces are text-based, low-stimulation options are available, and we always give content warnings. Because your comfort matters.

Many LGBTQ+ people are also neurodivergent. Research suggests significant overlap between these identities. haven embraces this intersection — because intersectionality matters, and you are more than one label. Join the community →

Join a community that gets it

haven's Discord is an active, moderated safe space running 24 hours a day. Real people. Real conversations. Real support. Come as you are.

✦ 24/7 peer support ✦ Dedicated LGBTQ+ channels ✦ Neurodivergent spaces ✦ Safe venting channels ✦ Trained moderators ✦ No judgement, ever
