  • individual counseling (online and live) for TIGV persons and families of TIGV persons; 
  • support groups for all TIGV persons

  • support groups for trans feminine people;
  • support groups for intersex people; 
  • support groups for families of TIGV persons

Trans Talks and Inter Talks

Trans Talks is a cycle of panels where we discuss different trans topics. You can come and say what bothers you, what you face in your everyday life, what makes you happy, what makes you sad, and everything else that comes to mind, and you can also just listen to the experiences of others.

Likewise, Inter Talks is a place for intersex people looking for support. Through three different counseling methods, KolekTIRV aims to provide the necessary help and support to as many people as possible who need it. Support groups enable intersex people to exchange experiences, knowledge and information, as well as mutual socialization and exchange of emotional and social support. Individual counseling with an intersex person allows you to work on yourself and the current problem through an anonymous, intimate and confidential atmosphere in KolekTIRV’s counseling center, while online support allows all people who are not from Zagreb or are simply not ready to risk anonymity to still contact for help and support.
