“INCREDIBLE facilitators, I was sad for it to end – wish it was a 2 dayer! They created a safe environment for us to ask questions and not know things which is so important. They were understanding of the variation in our roles and were able to explain how we all play an important part in creating a safe environment.”
“Both Necho and Morgan were fabulous presenters who gave 110% in delivering with such grace, humility and care. Thank you for making the experience today a comfortable one and something I am excited to share with my friends and family.”
We can facilitate a stall at your school health, wellbeing or LGBTIQ+ SB event. We love being out in schools and connecting with your school community! We try to get out to as many schools as possible but certain days are highly requested (i.e. IDAHOBIT, Mental Health Week, Wear It Purple Day) we have limited capacity around these dates, so please plan and register early to avoid disappointment.
