Coming Out Desk #beyou

The synergy between Arcigay and NIVEA Creme continues this year. Fearlessly declaring one's sexual orientation or gender identity to family, friends, and the workplace or school is a gesture that, while unfortunately still requires courage and pride, also brings about personal and social change. "Coming Out" is a fundamental and essential process in the life of an LGBTQIA+ person. It doesn't end in a single phase of life, perhaps the most difficult and critical, but continues in varying forms and degrees throughout life. It is a step toward authenticity and the freedom to be oneself, but it can also bring with it anxieties and questions.

So, thanks to the ongoing collaboration between Arcigay and NIVEA Creme, this year too there will be a free help desk for people who need to discuss their coming out journey, as well as for all those who support friends or family on this important journey.

In particular, this year's message is “Coming Out Together,” which reinforces the concept of Community that both NIVEA Creme and Arcigay resolutely promote.

Disclaimer: The #beyou help desk was created thanks to a donation from NIVEA Creme to Arcigay, which is in no way related to the volume of product purchases by end consumers. Thanks to the donation, it was possible to activate at Arcigay an online help desk operating 25 hours a week, with 5 psychologists available who will be active and in your support from 06/05/2025 to 31/12/2025

Through this page you can book an appointment with a professional to address the personal, relational, and psychological difficulties of coming out.
