Consultation, meeting, education

The Rainbow Family Center Lichtenberg offers a place of empowerment, support and exchange for lesbian, gay, bisexual, pan, trans*, non-binary, inter* and queer (LSBTIQ+) people with a desire to have children, queer pregnant people and expectant parents as well as queer families / rainbow families from single-, two- and multi-parent constellations and their children – in the form of consultation, group meetings and leisure activities. In addition, we conduct educational and informational events for professionals, parents or educators, and all interested people. We also do networking in the district and in the queer community in Berlin and nationwide.

Our family services are free of charge. We understand our center as a safer space – your questions, topics and interests are our focus.

Family is where people take responsibility for each other on a permanent basis. A rainbow family is a family in which at least one parent ascribes to a lesbian, gay, bi+, pan, trans*, inter*, non-binary and / or queer identity.
