Date: Thursday 16th July, 2026 Time: 11am - 12.30pm Where: Via Zoom About this session Who do you turn to when you need support? What makes someone feel like family? Who has been there for you during life's ups and downs? Not everyone finds acceptance and understanding in the same places. For many LGBTQ+ people, support can come from friends, chosen family, partners, community groups, colleagues, mentors, or unexpected connections made along the way. In this session, we'll explore the people and communities that help us feel valued, supported, and connected. Through discussion and a simple activity, we'll reflect on our support networks, share experiences of friendship and belonging, and consider how we can build and strengthen meaningful connections. Join us for a welcoming conversation about the people who stand by us and the communities that help us thrive.
