A new toolkit will help enhance intergenerational communication and connection among the LGBTQ+ community 🤝 Intergenerational disconnection is a growing societal problem, particularly among LGBTQ+ people, whose ‘families of choice’ are often peer-group-based without descendants and are less likely to include members from their ‘family of origin’. When people from different generations lack the opportunity to communicate and understand each other’s perspectives and experiences, this can lead to divisive stereotyping, misunderstanding and less connected communities. In this ESRC: Economic and Social Research Council impact project, led by Matthew Hall, Andrew King and Helen Kingstone at the University of Surrey, researchers are working with LGBTQ+ charitable organisations that specialise in supporting LGBTQ+ communities to establish how best to facilitate interventions that bring different generations together. Their brand new toolkit, presented to policymakers in Westminster in recent weeks, offers evidence-based recommendations for running intergenerational workshops with LGBTQ+ staff, members, volunteers and/or service users. It is now available to download via our website: 👉 https://lnkd.in/ed5S22T7 #researchimpact #connectedcommunities #LGBTQ+ #connection #communication #toolkit #itsgoodtotalk Tonic Housing Stonewall Housing METRO Charity #OpeningDoorsLondon

June marks Pride Month, a month dedicated to celebrating LGBTQ+ communities worldwide. The fact that we celebrate in June is not insignificant - it coincides with the date of the 1969 Stonewall riots, widely credited as the catalyst of the Queer Liberation movement. Many countries have made great strides towards LGBTQ+ equality - but this has not been a globally consistent, or linear, path. Many Queer people are still subject to immense discrimination and injustice, and many Governments have or are seeking to introduce legislation which will roll back some of the progress that has been made towards equality - including in some of OC&C’s geographies. It is for this reason that we commemorate Pride - to celebrate the progress we have made as a society, but also to raise awareness of the inequality and discrimination LGBTQ+ people face daily. At OC&C, we look forward to hearing from our colleagues and clients about their journeys as LGBTQ+ people, and fundraising for our charity partner Just Like Us as well as other charities.

In 2010, a powerful global movement was sparked when LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies spoke three words that would echo hope and resilience — "it gets better." This simple yet profound message ignited a wildly successful social media campaign, with over 70,000 individuals sharing their stories to offer solace and encouragement to young members of the LGBTQ+ community. Today, It Gets Better stands as a prominent global non-profit organization, touching the lives of millions of young people annually. Through an array of inspiring media initiatives, educational resources, and a network of international affiliates spanning 19 countries, It Gets Better provides vital support and access to community-based services. https://lnkd.in/gbA9BEfe #abbysoulproductions #resources #itgetsbetter #againsthomophobia
