LGBTQ+ Mental Health Webinar Series

LGBTQ+ people have a higher prevalence of mental health difficulties, compared to many of the population. Yet, most of us know little about the challenges and barriers they experience.

Our LGBTQ+ Mental Health Webinar series, hosted by RCPsych Trent and West Midlands Division, aims to look into the various mental ill health conditions commonly experienced within the LGBTQ+ community, share research, and provide the tools to better equip care givers working with and supporting this group.

The series of four webinars will cover the following areas:

• Session 1 – LGBTQ+ Mental Health – 28 September 2023
• Session 2 – Supporting transgender adult patients – 8 December 2023
• Session 3 – Intersectionality and LGBTQ+ mental health: A closer look – 25 January 2024
• Session 4 – LGBTQ+ Youth Mental Health Webinar – 23 February 2024

All recordings will be available to watch on demand until 1 June 2024.
