Understanding Us: LGBTQ+ Community Learning
Organiser
Andrew
Join us at The Nook (SAMH) for information and knowledge sessions aimed at empowering LGBTQ+ people to find support, overcome challenges and learn about their community.
Queer identities, from challenges to celebration.
In April we will explore different queer identities, taking the opportunity to learn and celebrate the diversity of LGBTQ+ experiences. We will also be looking at context to recognise the reasons we may have extra challenges.
IDAHOBIT and LGBTQ+ Solidarity
In May we will be marking International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia by learning about key moments of LGBTQ+ solidarity in History. The session will involve learning, discussion and activities that remind us of the power we have as a community.
How to: Pride
Pride season: it can be exciting and validating, but it can be a lot to navigate. Whether it’s joining marches or attending events it’s important to participate in the way that is right for you.
In our How to Pride edition of Understanding Us we’ll go through Pride Events across Scotland, Top tips for getting involved and alternative ways to feel proud.
Whether you’re preparing for your first Pride or have attended before and have questions, this session hopes to give you the information you need to help you navigate activities on your own terms.
The event is for LGBTQ+ people aged 16+.
This includes lesbian, gay, bi, trans, non‑binary, queer, intersex, asexual people and all identities under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella.
You’re also welcome if you’re exploring or don’t use labels.
Spaces are limited, so please register in advance via The Nook Eventbrite page.
Each registration is for one person.
You’ll receive a confirmation email.
If you need help or can’t attend, contact Andrew at andrew@lgbthealth.org.uk or call 0141 255 1767 .
