Hi @outlander  @Former-Member   I'm here too!  Great discussion tonight.  It's always a challenge when the event is such a success that the conversation goes really fast, I know that can be overwhelming.  Tagging @Former-Member @Fluttershy1 @Schitzo @Adge @Rebel @Maggie @NatureLover @Former-Member @Jynx  so you can find us.

It was really heart warming to see so many feel safe to disclose in tonight's Topic Tuesday // LGBTQIA+ & Mental Health // Tues 29th September, 7-8:30PM AEST  discussion.  As far as I know the thread will stay up but just be closed for further comment so people will be able to read it at a later date if they want to.  Lots of good resources on there at the end too.

Also where can I contact about all of this.

@Fluttershy1 there is a website and helpline called Qlife. you could give them a ring or go onto their webchat. they were quite helpful for me. this is the website
