WorkPride Panel: LGBTQ+ support - What is out there and how can you access it?
As the threat and concern for the COVID-19 pandemic continues, many LGBTQ+ people are understandably concerned about how this virus may affect the communities, namely in terms of housing and employment.
As the LGBTQ+ community is statistically at a higher risk of depression, stress and anxiety in comparison to its straight counterpart, support is more important than ever during the global pandemic. This panel will welcome a few support centres and charities sharing the work they are doing to help the LGBTQ+ community in this global pandemic.
