Listen to the very useful podcasts from this site based in Nigeria and aimed at the LGBTQ community.For example podcast 1, entitled: Discovered,
Abandoned, Depressed! – Max, is really helpful in that it views depression as a result of our point of view in a given situation and recommends that
we somehow change a negative one to a positive. Go on, have a listen!
