The Power of Peers – Lesbian Visibility Week

Continuing our Lesbian Visibility Week celebration – Rachel connects with Thorne Harbour Health’s Peer Education and Outreach Health Educator, Rhian Graco-Ilves about supporting community and the long history of the Outreach program. Rachel and Rhian reflect on a panel Thorne Harbour Health ran during Lesbian Visibility Week, and how we can raise the profile of and meaningful engagement for lesbians and same-sex attracted women.

Lesbian Visibility Week culminates with Lesbian Visibility Day, which is held on April 26.

Scope and Sphere are peer workshops at Thorne Harbour Health for lesbian, bi, queer and sexually-diverse women (including trans participants)
