Join us this month in discussing a mentally healthier future for the LGBTQ community. Learn more about LGBTQ mental health.

Mental health problems such as depression, self-harm, alcohol and drug abuse and suicidal thoughts can affect anyone, but they’re more common among people who are LGBTIQ. 

Being LGBTIQ doesn’t cause these problems. But some things LGBTIQ people go through can affect their mental health, such as discrimination, homophobia or transphobia, social isolation, rejection, and difficult experiences of coming out. 

 It’s important to note that embracing being LGBTIQ+ can have a positive impact on someone’s wellbeing too. It might mean they have more confidence, a sense of belonging to a community, feelings of relief and self-acceptance, and better relationships with friends and family.
