13 September: LGBTQ+ Support Festival
It is Day 2 of our Support Team Festival and we hope that you had a great Depression Support Festival yesterday and have learnt more about the team, as well as how they provide great support to the members in the support rooms and how they have kept the rooms condusive for seeking support! We hope that you have enjoyed all the discussions and activities prepared for you yesterday and have learnt from it! :)
In our Day 2 of the festival today, the featured team of the day is the LGBTQ+ Support Team, led by our awesome Support Room Mentor @JaceofSpades, who is currently on a break, and is assisted by @Lee on the adult side and @Cory on the teens side while she is on her break. :) They have been doing an awesome job looking over the LGBTQ+ Support Rooms and organising weekly support sessions in these rooms to bring better even better support to our members in need- really appreciate all the effort that they have put in to ensure support for this community!
Needless to say, they have played an important role in organising their team for this LGBTQ+ Support Festival to bring all the helpful discussions to you! :) We hope to see you attending these discussions and participate in all the awesome activities planned out for you! ^_^

Feed Activity: Fighting Myths and Stigmas!
Information: There has been a lot of myths and stigmas surrounding the LGBTQ+ Community- often putting the community in a negative light and finding it more difficult to reach out for support than they should. It may also result in problems that would not have existed without these myths and stigmas. Help us combat these myths and stigmas today! ^_^
Feed Activity: Learning more about the LGBTQ+/MOGII Community!
Information: The LGBTQ+ Community can be very complex with various terms and identities to those who are not part of the community, but it is definitely worth knowing them! :) Share some of these resources to promote awarenss and understanding of the LGBTQ+ Community in your feed! ^_^
Feed Activity: Sharing Help and Experiences for Questioning Members!
