We provide or connect people with LGBTQ+ mental health specialists, to help ensure and restore your mental health.
Our primary focus is on those members of our community in greatest need, and with the least resources.
“We are at the beginning of our journey following widespread consultation with LGBTQ+ people and organisations, and the successful delivery of our pilot. Raising much needed funds and securing volunteers are now our priority so that we can continue to champion better mental health and wellness within our communities please help in the best way you can, either as a donor, volunteer or practitioner.”
There are lots of ways to support us.
We respond to a critical gap in mental health services, particularly for LGBTQ+ individuals. With public and LGBTQ+ sector resources overstretched, we offer timely and specialised support to meet the growing demand.
We provide a unique range of services that recognise the diverse needs of our community. Whether someone is seeking their first step into mental health support or looking for tailored resources, our innovative approach ensures a welcoming experience.
Our services are delivered by fully qualified, accredited, and experienced mental health professionals.
Queerwell is rooted in the LGBTQ+ community. Our work is delivered in queer-affirmative spaces by LGBTQ+ professionals, in partnership with charities, workplaces, and community organisations.
We are committed to reaching LGBTQ+ individuals wherever they are. With both online and offline services, we operate across the UK, delivering support in charities, community hubs, and workplaces.
We prioritise accessibility for those who need it most. Recognising that the best mental health support is often unaffordable or unavailable, we focus on reaching marginalised LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly those facing intersecting forms of discrimination.
Our model emphasises sustainability and financial prudence:• A small core team collaborates with specialised providers to deliver key programs.
• Services are hosted within established community settings to reduce costs.
• Our “access and donate” model enables those who can afford to contribute to support free or low-cost services for others.
