Support for young LGBT+ people

The Broxbourne Be Yourself Be Proud LGBT+ Project is a for LGBT+ people aged 13-17 who need additional support. It is a supportive and inclusive environment where the young people can get accurate, impartial information and guidance on a range of issues including sexual orientation and gender identity. The project prioritises safety and confidentiality, ensuring young people have a space to express themselves without fear of discrimination. Typically, the project will include strategies around face to face and online bullying, emotional and mental health support to develop skills in self-advocacy, assertiveness, coping mechanisms and self-care.

The project runs every week during term time.
