In today’s episode we explore one of the most significant issues that the queer community faces; the importance of good mental health. Research shows that the queer community does have much higher rates of suicide, addiction and self harming patterns. Why does this occur? Why is the community more susceptible? Our guest Pooja Nair has worked in the non-profit sector and has been a researcher, consultant, trainer & counsellor herself and provides valuable insights on the subject. She is a faculty at Queer Affirmative Counseling Practice course run by Mariwala Health Initiative.
