Research survey  - esp. for people raised by same-sex parents

Hi there!
My name is Adèle (she/her) and I am a year three psychology student at Erasmus University Rotterdam. For my bachelor's thesis, I am conducting research on the psychological well-being of adults (18+) that were raised by different and same-sex couples.
Therefore, I'm looking for people 18+ who were raised by different or same-sex parents to take this survey. However, I'm having trouble finding people raised by same sex parents which is why I'm reaching out in hopes that you can help me reach more people.
Data is collected anonymously! It should take around 15 to 20 min. so to compensate, at the end of the survey you can indicate if you would like to enter yourself in a raffle to win one of two 15$/euro vouchers.
I would appreciate it so much if you could share this with people who you think would be willing to participate or pass the message along. View the flyer
Thank you so much in advance and have a lovely day.
Please let me know if I can give you any more info at: avergne.adele@gmail.com
PS: the survey can be taken in English, French, or Dutch at tinyurl.com/alsurveyeur.

Armstrong & Arthur Charitable Trust for Lesbians

The Armstrong and Arthur Charitable Trust for Lesbians was established in 2001 by the late Bea Arthur for the benefit of lesbian community groups in the Wellington region. The Trust is named to recognise and remember the 57 year relationship of Bea and her partner the late Bette Armstrong. The Trustees invite applications for funding assistance, as grants, for projects and activities that will benefit all or part of the lesbian communities in the Wellington region. Visit the Trust website www.armstrong-arthur-trust.nz for information about how to apply for grants, and how to donate or make bequests to the Trust.

Application forms and guidelines are available from the Trust's website.

This is a service for distributing your notices to the lesbian community. To join the list, email leonies.email.list@lesbian.net.nz Please include contact details for several referees from the local lesbian community with your request. Leonie will get in touch with the referees as it is important to keep the list safe.
If you were once on the email list but have not received any messages for a long while you may need to rejoin.

Once you are on the list, you can send email notices to the same address for distribution. Any notice that will help or inform us as lesbians is sent out.

• When sending in a notice please include any relevant contact info in the content of the message or at the end - your email address in your message's header will be stripped out before the notice is distributed.
• Political notices, attachments and images are not sent out.
• And please keep your message simple - strip out earlier email messages to save Leonie having to do it!
