Self Care for Queer Youth

Kids & Family, Sexuality, Society & Culture, Youth

 

How have you been feeling lately? Rocking the school holidays? Did you go to the Minus18 dance party last week – pretty fun! How have you been feeling emotionally? Has all the noise about the postal vote been making you feel a little off?

I know I started to feel pretty down and overwhelmed over the last couple of weeks. All the discussions about queer life, the no campaign on the TV, the posters stuck up around the city telling people it’s ok to vote no. I’ve been worried about what will happen if it’s a no vote but I’ve mainly been really concerned about how these negative marketing campaigns have been impacting the queer young people in our world. So let’s chat to them! Let’s check in on our wonderful young people and see how they are feeling and also discuss how we can look after ourselves during this time!

This episode is all about SELF CARE!

Thanks to Mark, Amelia and Charlie for sharing their thoughts!
