About SAFE -
Supporting, AFfirming & Empowering our lgbtQ friends and family

Provides a support network where parents, family members and friends of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people and those who are questioning their sexuality can come for information and resources, learn from accepting families, share stories and experiences, keep communication channels open, and most of all to build strong and close relationships with loved ones. With these activities, SAFE hopes to promote a society with a healthy respect for human diversity that will in turn build up the well-being of all gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning people.

Pelangi Pride Centre's Event in November

Posted by: Plume

Communicating With People You Love
Speaker: Mr Alan Yeo, Counsellor

Date: 11/11/2006 (Sat)
Time: Begins at 4:30pm
Venue: MOX Bar and Cafe
21 Tanjong Pagar Road (4th floor)
Cost: $6.00 (includes 2 soft drinks and light refreshments)

It has been said that we often treat the ones we love with the least amount of kindness. Is that true? Or is it perhaps more true that we are just less careful with our words and how we say it?

Come to Pelangi Pride Centre (PPC) this November and learn ways to better communicate with partners, family members and friends. Learn tips on how to let the ones you love know that you care about them, in a basic but difficult activity: communication.

Topics Covered include:

• I Hear You... Are You Listening To Me?
• Fighting the Good Fight
• In Praise of our Partners
• Being Your own Best Friend
• Question & Answer Session

About the Speaker:

Alan has a MA (Experimental Psychology) from the University of Arkansas, USA and an MEd from the Nanyang Technological University. In addition, he also holds Specialist and Graduate Diplomas in Counselling and has since 2003 run his own consultancy,
counselling on personal and family issues. He is also an Associate Lecturer, Clinical Supervisor and Personal Therapist for some local training centres.
