Our Melbourne chapter has grown significantly over the last five years, with people travelling long distances to attend the monthly meetings in the city. A number of people travel from the outer East and so we’re experimenting with a social f2b get together to strengthen the connections that have already been made, plus make some new ones with those that are not able to make the Melbourne meetings. These dinners are run with all the same guidelines as a regular chapter meeting, but will not have the speaker/discussion component. PLUS they will be family friendly so children can attend.

The details for the first outer eastern f2b dinner:

Thursday 6th June, 6:30pm at Sofias Restaurant -99 Maroondah Highway, Croydon.

RSVP to Matt Glover @ matt@mgacounselling.com.au or 0478 651 951. Children welcome!

“The Cure” is an independent documentary film on reparative programs and the mental health implications of trying to “change” sexuality. Told through the compelling narratives of people who have tried to transform their sexuality, the film lifts the veil on Australian ‘ex-gay’ programs and ultimately brings to light underlying themes of hope and freedom.

The Cure Documentary premiered at the 2012 Mardi Gras Film Festival in Sydney.

F2b’s very own Ben Gresham and his family feature in this documentary and we are very fortunate to have Ben join us for our June meeting for a Q & A session after the film.
