Proud Connections Live Chat

Proud Connections Live Chat is here to provide online support for LGBT+ young people and the adults in their lives.
Are you LGBT+ or questioning your gender or sexuality and looking for someone to talk to?
Are you supporting an LGBT+ young person and need information, advice or someone to chat to?
Chat to our youth workers on our Live Chat. Proud Connections Live Chat is available across the UK.
Proud Connections Mentors
Proud Connections Mentors programme pairs LGBT+ young people with trained LGBT+ adult mentors for regular online support sessions. The programme is open to LGBT+ young people aged 16 – 19 (up to 25 with additional needs) across the UK.
Proud Connections One-to-One Support
Our experienced staff work with LGBT+ young people to build individualised programmes of support based on their situation and their needs. We work the young person to help them feel better equipped to deal with life challenges.
Proud Connections: One-to-One support is available for LGBT+ young people aged 13 – 19 (up to 25 with additional needs) across Greater Manchester and Cheshire West and Chester.
Proud Connections Parents and Carers
Proud Connections: Parents & Carers is an online peer support group for the parents and carers of LGBT+ young people facilitated by experienced members of staff from The Proud Trust.

I feel validated by the youth worker in the thoughts and feelings I’m struggling with. I feel heard.
For more information, or to discuss options of support for you or an LGBT+ young person in your life, chat to us on Proud Connections Live Chat.
