Ep 239: LGBT, family and TV

Feb 21, 2022, 06:00 AM

Mick is joined by 21 year old Emma, and the CEO of charity The Mix Chris Martin.

This week we're discussing the results of a survey from YouGov and The Mix into how young people view relationships, and how truthful representation in family and external settings breeds confidence, particularly in the LGBTQ+ community.

We also look at the mental health consequences of not showing the realities of what relationships can be, or accepting the diversity of genders and sexuality of young people.

And we'll explore how the mainstream media can play its part.

Signposting to services included at the end of the podcast.
