Message from Tom Chew – LGBT Foundation:

Below is a link to a really important resource that my colleagues at LGBT Foundation have recently developed and released.

https://lgbt.foundation/reachoutstaystrong

The Reach out stay S.T.R.O.N.G resource has been created working in partnership with shining a light on suicide. The resource is a really important toolkit for those within the LGBT community on how to manage and understand triggers and suicidal ideation. As well as where to find support.
