On Friday, we launched our new Families Mental Health and Wellbeing Resources at our Rainbow Families on Film event. We worked with Rainbow Families and Scottish Queer International Film Festival to screen a range of films looking at differnet aspects of LGBTQ family life and experiences. We were thrilled to see such a great turn out- the cinema was packed full! The films were a really great way of starting off a discussion and telling stories that we don’t often get to see which was really inspiring.
We had some really great discussion and participation from audience members afterwards, talking about how there is no roadmap for parenting, and how tough it can be combined with the stigma of mental health. We had a really great evening and want to thank everyone who came along! To find out more about our new resources, have a look at our latest blog post or email ciara@otbds.org
