Description

Molly Boorman from Thorne Harbour Health unpacks holiday wellbeing for LGBTIQ+ folk, from family driven stress to managing alcohol and other drug use.


Molly shares practical tools like self compassion, safety planning, group peer support and when to access services like Direct Line, Rainbow Door and Lifeline.


She also speaks with Jack and Jake about online intake options and the importance of creating new, affirming traditions when traditional gatherings feel unsafe.
