Alaska Teen Query: Sexual Healthcare in the LGBTQ+ Community (Part 1)

The Kachemak Bay Family Planning Clinic REC Room Peer Education team, led by Peer Ed Coordinator Tyler Schlieman, has launched a teen-created podcast series called Alaska Teen Query. The team of Peer Eds, ages 15-18, developed the podcast during a workshop facilitated by Alaskan nonprofit See Stories contractor Rafael Bitanga. Each teen created their episode based on a chosen sexual health-related topic, conducted interviews with community members and wove in their personal stories and perspectives. 

Peer Educator Esmé Golden asks questions about barriers and making healthcare easier and better for LGBTQ+ people today. What are the biggest healthcare barriers that LGBTQ+ people face today? What are some ways that healthcare facilities make it easier or better for people facing these challenges? What can allies do to help? Featuring interviews with Robin Holmes, Jamie Bachus, and Frankie Opatz.
