LORI Youth Group video podcast
What is coming out and why are we talking about it? How to deal with the uncertainties we feel when we care about someone? How to build a support system and allow for secure and safe communication? Parents and youth, listen to our suggestions on how to address these questions and build relationships based on understanding. Video podcast is part of the project ‘Youth Voices for Social Changes’, conducted by Project Coordinator Lesbian Organisation Rijeka – LORI and partner organisation Pride Parade Association from April 2022 until the end of November 2023 with the financial support of the European Union's Erasmus + Programme.
Spona 2 - Support for health, equality, inclusivity and solidarity

Useful texts from the archive:
NOTE: These texts (in Croatian) were made as part of the campaign “Family without Prejudice” in 2007, so a part of the data that was relevant at the time isn’t anymore, and some of the terminology has changed. Nevertheless, the themes dealt with in these texts are still relevant today, especially for LGBTIQ+ youth, so we encourage you to read them.
Psychosocial support
LORI provides free psychosocial support for LGBTIQ+ youth (counselling, peer support and legal aid).
