Project Headmasters focuses on the mental health of the LGBTQI+ community, with special attention to vulnerable groups such as transgender people, individuals affected by trauma, and those from the kink community.The activities are based on three pillars: Consent (No is a full sentence), Compassion (End the Stigma), Chemsense (Sensible Drug Use).The projects aim to community-based prevention, healing, education, destigmatization, and lowering barriers.Through podcasts, gatherings, booths, social media, and mainstream media, we aim to support, inform, and inspire the community.Because who are we without each other?

CONSENT

No is a full sentenceWe make inappropriate behavior discussable by providing information through gatherings, booths at events and venues, supported by digital and printed materials.We are developing a community-based safety net through the DSO project (Designated Safety Official). In this program, we train venue staff to become DSO-certified so they can recognize, address, and refer inappropriate behavior.With the "green bishop" emblem, we make it clear that a venue or event upholds consent as the standard and visibly contributes to it. There is visible information available, and the DSO is a personal point of contact for visitors.

Chemsense

We are committed to making chemsex, sex, and drug use a topic of discussion by providing information through gatherings, booths at events and in venues, supported by digital and printed materials.We will not impose ourselves and be present in a non-judgmental manner to provide education on chemsex and sensible drug use, and help individuals assess whether they are in control of their drug use or vice versa.We aim to create a community-based network of experts with lived experience and caregivers who are available without judgment for both education and support, so that people can seek help without feeling ashamed en talk to each other what they are going through.

COMPASSION

We want to break the stigma surrounding mental health issues and encourage and inspire each other to share feelings of trauma or loneliness. At some point, we have all faced passive or active rejection as members of the rainbow community or needed our chosen family for more than just fun.We want no one in our family to struggle in isolation. And when things are going well for you: pay it forward. By being open about difficult experiences or periods, you show that someone else can safely do the same with you.We offer gatherings, an information booth at venues and events, and both printed and digital materials.
