See Change Sessions with Alittlegail S3- Ep5: How to be an Ally to the LGBTQIA+ community

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 Abigail McDonnell our host, as she welcomes See Change Ambassadors David Casey and Brodie Thompson. David and Brodie share with us their experience of being from the LGBTQIA+ community and provide important information on how to be an ally to the 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.
