Mind Your Head

Rewatch now!

Yas Necati is a writer, poet, campaigner, and drag king. They will talk about the need for better LGBTQ+ mental health provision and explore their own mental health journey, their experience of depression, anxiety, psychosis and self-harm/suicidal thoughts, and the importance of self-care. 

Through their work Yas explores themes of queer and trans identity, migrant identity, mental health, recovery, community and resistance. They campaign on gender-based and queer based-rights, run workshops on self-care, and occasionally perform as their drag act alter-ego, Turkish pop star Tarkan. 

This free session is part of the Mind Your Head campaign – a partnership between Happy Valley Pride and the Brunswick Centre. Find out more at www.happyvalleypride.com/mind-your-head
