The Power of Peers – Lesbian Visibility Week

Peer Education Program, Women's Health

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.
