Somewhere Sober

Alcohol & Drug Harm Reduction, Art, Community, Health, Thorne Harbour Health (VAC)

The City of Yarra is partnering with VicHealth to kick off Dry July with Somewhere Sober – a place for connection and conversation around the relationship between queer social spaces and alcohol.

This is a relaxed, welcoming event for LGBTQIA+ folks and allies who are sober, sober-curious, or simply keen to explore social spaces that don’t revolve around drinking.

For a primo showcase of sober (and sober-curious) LGBTQIA+ comedians and artists, check out the event on the City of Yarra website here.

Check out our other JOY Podcasts for more on LGBTIQ+ health and wellbeing at joy.org.au/wellwellwell.

If there’s something you’d like us to explore on the show, send through ideas or questions at wellwellwell@joy.org.au
