In partnership with The Y and Connection and Wellbeing Australia, Freedom runs wellbeing workshops throughout the year for LGBTIQA+ young people around WA.
The wellbeing workshops focus on peer support and mental health for LGBTIQA+ young people.
Our workshops are two days of activities, great food and more:
- Meet other LGBTIQA+ young people
- Spend time in a safe space supported by qualified staff
- Learn about supporting your mental health and wellbeing and that of your friends
- Walk out with new skills and knowledge around mental health.
- Learn how to access LGBTIQA+ friendly services in your area
- Participate in the safeTALK suicide alertness training and receive a certificate (it’ll look great on your resume!)
