During this time, in solidarity with one other, we should do what we can to support each other.

The COVID-19 crisis has had a social, economic and psychological impact on all of us. To address these impacts, we need to talk about it.

COVID-19 and related public health measures have disproportionately affected LGBTQ2S+ communities, forcing many individuals into uncomfortable, homophobic or transphobic, and sometimes unsafe situations. How can we help?

This workshop includes a 60 minute session, followed by a 30 minute Q&A.

The workshop will cover the basics of:

  • Crisis mentality

  • Mechanics of emotions

  • Exploring our unique challenges as the LGBTQ2S+ individuals

  • Practical psychological and behavioural do’s and don'ts of crisis management
