In a world where we are all are expected to keep going no matter the cost, what happens when we choose to pause? In this special episode of The Frontline, we explore what it means to truly care for ourselves, particularly at the intersections of queerness, race, and mental health.


Joining the conversation are Suranee Abeysuria, Director of Rainbow Mind (https://rainbowmind.org/), a mental health service by and for LGBTQIA+ people in the UK, and Uz Afzal, a senior practitioner and co-creator of Rainbow Mind’s radical self-care programme.
From navigating the emotional toll of activism to confronting the layered impacts of racism and homophobia within the asylum system and other racist structures, Suranee and Uz offer hard-won insights and practical tools for sustaining ourselves and our communities.


This episode isn’t just about stepping back to heal, it’s about reclaiming power, rewriting the rules of resilience, and a queer revolution grounded in healing.
