In this episode, we introduce Molly as a new host, joined by Ash, Mack, Jay and Sassie to discuss LGBTQ+ community safety. We highlight the importance of safe spaces and how to create an accessible and comfortable environment for LGBTQ+ people. We also share experiences of feeling supported, genuine allyship and gestures of validation.
Gender dysphoria: a sense of unease that a person may have because of a mismatch between their biological sex and their gender identity. (NHS)
Gender euphoria: comfort/ joy that happens when gender expression is aligned with identity.
Rainbow capitalism: when companies commercialise and claim to support the rights of the LGBTQ+ community (especially during Pride) mainly for profit and improved brand image.

This is one of the first podcast of its kind in the UK and we’re coming together to discuss, debate and challenge issues around child and adolescent mental health. This is a fabulous opportunity for you to come and listen to staff interviews, hear lively discussions between professionals, service users and their families and get first-hand information about what it’s like to come to CAMHS. We’ll also let you know about new service developments and give you a heads up on any events we’re running.
