Online,
An online seminar hosted by Alcohol Change UK, 10am to 1pm, Thursday 21 September 2023
LGBTQ+ people are at more risk of alcohol problems; but when they encounter such problems, they are less likely to receive the support they need.
At this online learning event, we’ll be hearing from experts with personal and professional experience of drinking in LGBTQ+ communities, working to make more LGBTQ+ sober spaces, and how support services can be made more relevant and accessible.
If you’re working to make alcohol support more inclusive, this is the event for you.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Maryann Wright, founder of Sappho Events, about creating safe and sober social spaces for LGBTQ+ women.
- Hidayah UK, on their work supporting LGBTQ+ Muslims.
- Amanda Atkinson from Liverpool John Moores University, on her research into LGBTQ+ people’s experiences of the night-time economy
- Monty Moncrieff MBE, from London Friend, on how drug and alcohol services can reach more LGBTQ+ people.
