Self-care during

Pride Month is a special time for our community to come together and celebrate LGBTQIA+ identities. But for some, it can be difficult and bring up feelings of shame or stigma, either from ourselves or from others. You might not feel able to come out, or you could face negativity from the people around you.

It can be difficult to feel proud of who you are when you’re facing discrimination, and this can have a huge impact on our mental health. Here's some tips on looking after yourself:
• Tell people what helps.
• Know your warning signs.
• Keep track of how you feel.
• Look after yourself. Negative conversations about LGBTQIA+ can be harmful to hear and it might make you feel worse about yourself. Challenge unkind thoughts you might have about yourself – and make sure to do nice things for yourself too.

Bucks Mind is here all year round for anyone who’s LGBTQIA+.

If you identify as LGBTQIA+ and have mental health problems, national Mind has lots of helpful information plus details of organisations that can offer support:www.mind.org.uk/information-support/tips-for-everyday-living/lgbtqiaplus-mental-health/

Kirsty, Peer Support Bucks volunteer, says:

“Volunteering for Bucks Mind has been a huge part of my own mental health journey. It has given me so much more confidence, self-belief and self-esteem, while allowing me to use my own struggles and experiences in a positive way to help others.

I love working with the people we support and other staff and volunteers. Being able to listen to others and help them feel heard and valued is incredibly rewarding, and it also helps me feel valued too. From my own experience, I know how much peer support workers helped me when I was struggling, so I was delighted when the opportunity to volunteer with Bucks Mind came along.

I also love being part of Bucks Mind as an organisation. They genuinely care about their staff and volunteers, are approachable, supportive and always there if you need help. I’ve always felt welcomed, respected and encouraged.

The confidence and sense of purpose I have gained through volunteering has been life-changing. It has helped me realise that this is where I want my future to be, and I am now looking to build a career in peer support or a similar role so I can continue making a difference in people’s lives.”

Thank you so much Kirsty, you’re truly inspiring!
