It can be really good to talk to people who might be going through similar experiences to you. They might also offer support services. Yorkshire MESMAC staff around the region can:
- Talk to you in confidence about sexual orientation, gender identity, sexual health, as well as issues such as homophobic bullying and hate crime.
- Provide you with information and free safer sex resources (such as condoms and lube).
- Tell you about what is going on in your local area for young LGB&T people, including groups and events.
Signpost you to other appropriate services if necessary.
