Welcome to See Change Sessions with Alittlegail! This podcast created by See Change and hosted by Abigail McDonnell, is all about starting the conversation and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and the difficulties that may come within it.
This week we are joined by guest host Barbara Brennan, Team Lead of See Change as she welcomes this weeks guest Collette O’Regan from LGBT Ireland to speak about mental health issues and stigma in the LGBTQIA+ community. For the month of June we will be joined by our partner organisations, ambassadors and supporters in order to share the voices of the LGBTQIA+ community.
