Advice If You’re LGBTQI+ And Live In The Country
About this episode
Dee discusses with psychologist Dr Chris Cheers about the challenges faced by LGBTQI+ individuals living in rural areas and how to find community and support.
If you’re LGBTQI+ and live rurally, it can be so hard to explore your sexuality or discover your identity, especially if you don’t have any queer community nearby. In this ep, Dee chats to psychologist Dr Chris Cheers about how to find yourself and your people - if you live in a place that makes it hard to do that.
