SCOTLAND'S LGBTQIA+
MENTAL HEALTH NETWORK
WELCOME
​
In Scotland, LGBTQIA+* people have worse mental health and think about and attempt suicide more than our heterosexual and cisgender (non-trans) peers.
One of the key barriers to research, development and policy change in Scotland is that we don’t have a way to bring these together.
So, we’re developing a network to focus on LGBTQIA+ Mental Health Research in Scotland and work out how researchers, practitioners and LGBTQIA+ communities can work together to help our community.
​
Become part of the Network
If you'd like to become part of our network - and receive invitations to our events, our newsletter as well as information LGBTQIA+ Mental Health in Scotland, please join our network.
​
Come to our next event​
Come along to our in person Network Development Events on 16th/17th September in Edinburgh and Glasgow to help design the programme of events, resources and activities that we will focus on over the next 18 months – over a delicious, free lunch!
​
Who should attend?
We want LGBTQIA+ community members, community groups and businesses , as well as academics, service providers, policymakers, to come along.
​
These events will be a safe space for LGBTQIA+ folk with a zero-tolerance attitude to hate speech and/or anti-LGBTQIA+ stigma.
