Counselling for Gay Men Launched
PeopleTerrence Higgins Trust (THT) is launching ‘Connect’, a new low cost counselling service for gay or bisexual men based in King’s Cross, London, next month.

The service, which is to be launched on 3rd September, allows gay men to explore difficulties or challenges in their lives, make sense of experiences and find solutions or coping mechanisms when faced with problems. “Many people find that talking to someone about their lives can help them to make positive changes,” said Christine Mead, manager of THTs Wellbeing Services.

“Counselling sessions can be used to discuss anything from problems at home or work, to drug or alcohol use or sexual risk taking.  If there’s something you’d like to discuss please get in touch.”

Under 18 LGBT Event in Maidstone
NewsA group of gay teens in Maidstone, frustrated by the lack of events have taken the initiative and launched one of their own. The Under 18 Gay Night will be trialled on 2nd September  at the Queen Anne Pub in Maidstone.

Organiser Jamie Smirk said that this first event is a trial and that more would be planned depending on the success of this one. "Anyone who is over 18 is also welcome, but it would be best if there are more under 18's than over or it misses the point of an under 18 event." Smirk added, "Sorry no under 16's though"

For more information you can visit the Facebook group (see link below) or visit The Queen Anne website.
