Sexuality Resources

As part of the 2022 Annual Better Out Than In campaign, BeLonG To are letting LGBTQ+ young people know that there are people they can talk to about their worries and fears without judgement – no matter how big or small. They have created an online hub to direct LGBTQ+ youth to a range of free, confidential support services. It allows users to check out face-to-face, online, phone, and text supports so that they can share what’s going on. Visit the hub via the link below.

A new resource pack for the LGBTI+ community has been created by the Galway LGBTI+ Interagency Group, which is a partnership comprising of statutory, community and voluntary organisations from across Galway city and county. It contains a sample Code of Practice Guide for organisations along with a description of the role of the code of practice leader. It also contains information on available training, support services, relevant organisations, and some helpful definitions.
