Not all of us who identify as LGBTQIA will struggle through our personal journeys, but some of us will and it’s about supporting those of us who are unsure of where to turn along the way, to feel a little less alone and more seen, heard and accepted - for exactly who we are.
Finding people you trust to understand you and how you experience your world right now can, at times, feel like an impossible task, plunging you into a world of isolation. There may be times when you just need to say some really difficult stuff out loud and not want anyone's opinion or feedback, you just need to experience owning some of your feelings and practice saying and hearing them out loud in your own voice - without fearing judgement, prejudice or consequences.
Whatever your journey, we hope that we can help give you a safe space to start. We hope some of the resources, links, blogs, personal stories you will find here might help provide some support to help you feel less alone and more connected to a wider community out there, ready and able to hear, support and celebrate YOU.
There are many support agencies in Northern Ireland who specialise in providing support to support people to live a more fulfilled and content life. Everyone is different and some people may benefit from increasing their social interaction, gaining employment, counselling or becoming more active outdoors. Browse our directory to find local organisations to explore and consider reaching out.
