‘see me… supported’: a queer collaborative zine

Get ready to explore and hear us roar, “It’s issue four!” (of our ‘see me…’ zine)

We are See Me Proud, a team of LGBTQIA+ Community Champion volunteers based in Scotland seeking to challenge mental health stigma and discrimination within the LGBTQIA+ community. Curious about what we do? Find us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter @SeeMeProud.

This special mini-zine is inspired by Time To Talk Day 2021 and the focus this year of ‘The Power of Small’. How little things we do can make a big difference to ourselves and others. We know that every day is time to talk about mental health, and Time To Talk Day shines a spotlight on that.

Inspired by a question posed to us from our parent organisation See Me Scotland (thanks Nick), we asked our Queer community to tell us in one sentence something small that someone else had done for them that has helped them when they were struggling with their mental health.

Thank you so much to everyone who responded. We hope that by sharing these kind gestures, we all might be inspired by them, use them to help others, and also recognise the people that make a difference in our lives.
