LGBT+ people are at a greater risk of poor mental health and wellbeing. As a minority, you may have to deal with difficult experiences like discrimination because of your sexuality or gender identity.
Being LGBT+ is not a mental health problem. However, LGBT+ people can be more likely to experience challenges such as discrimination, stigma, isolation or barriers to accessing support and healthcare. These experiences can have a significant impact on mental health and wellbeing, which is why inclusive support and understanding are so important.
