SUMMARY:K1 en français - les substances et la communauté queer
DESCRIPTION:Soyons honnêtes — les substances (alcool\, cannabis\, poppers\, party drugs\, etc.) font partie des réalités de nos communautés queer. Parfois\, c’est pour célébrer\, connecter\, explorer; parfois\, c’est pour gérer le stress\, l’anxiété ou la solitude. Mais au fond\, ce qui compte\, c’est de pouvoir en parler ouvertement\, sans tabous ni jugements. \n\n\n\nRejoins-nous pour une discussion de pairs sincère\, joyeuse et sans filtres où on va explorer : \n\n\n\n\nPourquoi certaines substances sont plus présentes dans nos communautés 🌈\n\n\n\nLes liens entre plaisir\, santé mentale et consommation 💭\n\n\n\nComment trouver un équilibre\, prendre soin de soi et soutenir nos ami·e·s 💞\n\n\n\n\nQue tu consommes\, que tu sois sobre\, curieux·se\, ou que tu veuilles juste écouter — ta voix compte. C’est un espace pour échanger\, réfléchir\, et se soutenir ensemble.
