WHY QUEERWELL

LGBTQ+ people are
  • Significantly over-represented and underserved when accessing support with their mental health
  • More likely to experience poor mental health because of discrimination, rejection by their families and social isolation
  • Likely to receive mental health support which is not informed by an understanding of their specific needs and identities
  • This situation is further affected by long waiting lists and private alternatives being prohibitively expensive within mental health care
