At 2BU, our social media plays a vital role in helping us stay connected with queer people every day. From celebrating awareness days to sharing our impact and showcasing quotes from young people. Our virtual platforms create a safe space where people can see their identities celebrated and valued. Through engaging posts and positive messages, we are able to raise awareness and remind young people that they are not alone. Often, we request input from young people for their views, like 'Mental Health Awareness Week', we may ask 'What self care top tips do you recommend for someone struggling with their mental health'. We can then generate quotes from real sources to promote healthy mental well-being.

Sometimes, as a society, we can get swept away with the depersonalization of social media and forget how to connect with real people, but bringing real voices onto social media helps to bring people together and makes this space much more personal, which promotes community.
