This week we are joined by guest host Barbara Brennan, Team Lead of See Change as she welcomes this weeks guest Ranae Von Meding CEO and co-founder of Equality for Children to discuss the exclusion people from the LGBTQIA+ community experience, particularly when having children and the impact this exclusion has on a persons mental health. 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.
