Jacinta and Jack are joined by Mish Kumar-Jonson from The Iceberg Foundation to discuss the program Pride Beyond Borders which supports LGBTIQ+ migrants.

Pride Beyond Borders is a commitment to the mental and social health of the refugee, asylum seeker, and displaced people’s communities.

Li-Min Lee also joins us to discuss their upcoming presentations, Culturally diverse challenges: Navigating the intersection of multiple identities and help-seeking when supporting LGBTIQ+ migrants and How lesbian seniors navigated their heterosexual relationship dissolution and coming out.

Mish and Li-Min will be presenting this research at the upcoming LGBTIQ+ Women’s Health Conference. Find out more here.
