Over the past six years, we have held at least
one annual meeting at the College or at a regional meeting. In
addition to this, every year (except 2004) we have presented
one or two seminars at the Royal College’s Annual
meetings. The themes of our meetings have included:
- being gay or lesbian in the
NHS: issues for staff and patients
- self harm in vulnerable
groups
- discrimination and mental
health
- working with mental health
problems in lesbian and gay clients
- psychotherapy for lesbian, gay
and bisexual people
- sex and psychosis
- impact of discrimination
- parenting
- multiple diversities
- boundaries and therapeutic
relationships
- gay and lesbian health
matters
The Group has also been involved in
representing the College as the Special Interest Group on Gay and
Lesbian Mental Health at the National Institute for Mental
Health England. It has advised the College on its Social Inclusion
report and its submission to the Church of England Listening
Exercise on Human Sexuality.
The Group has also developed a Diversity
Training pack and has organised educational
meetings.
