About this event
In Scotland, LGBTQIA+* people have worse mental health and think about and attempt suicide more than our heterosexual and cisgender (non-trans) peers. We held our first networking lunch where you told us what you wanted out of the Interdisciplinary LGBTQIA+ mental health network for Scotland. Building on the ideas generated at our previous gatherings, these workshops will design the programme of events, resources and activities that we will focus on over the next 18 months – as well as developing the name and logo of our network– over a delicious, free lunch!
Each lunch will feedback the key findings from our initial events with Dr Hazel Marzetti and Professor Jamie Frankis, then we will workshop how we can develop the agenda for the next 18 months.

Who should attend?
We want LGBTQIA+ community members, community groups and businesses from across Scotland, as well as academics, service providers, policymakers, to come along. If you came along to our earlier May lunches, or our online event, we’d love you to come back and help us again! If you didn’t come to our previous events, you’d be really welcome this time around too!
Is there funding available?
We can offer public transport expenses for community members and charity workers. We’ll also lay on tea, coffee and lunch for all participants. BSL interpretation is available if required.
These events will be a safe space for LGBTQIA+ folk with a zero tolerance attitude to hate speech and/or anti-LGBTQIA+ stigma.
*Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, aromantic, non-binary and other sexual/gender minority folk

See you there, Hazel and Jamie
