Provides individual sessions to support LGBTQ+ young people aged 12-24 with issues and concerns relevant to their lived experiences. This includes a space and opportunity to explore identities, develop strategies for self confidence and self acceptance, develop coping mechanisms for future coming out or dealing with hatred, gaining increased knowledge and information on sexual orientation and gender identities, and getting an allocated LGBTQ+ mentor. This is not therapy or a clinical intervention and should not be used as an alternative (it is an informal space).
