IN CONVERSATION

Over the past 20 years, there have been big changes in the way the LGBTIQ community have found support. Within this community, a special space has been carved out for young people, and the creators of this space have been the youth themselves. 

We talked with Micah Scott, CEO at Minus18, about their journey from a small, volunteer-run organisation and what it means to foster resilience through compassion and the creation of safe spaces. The journey hasn’t always attracted supporters; but kindness, glitter and rainbows have certainly helped to encourage broader understanding.
