These information sheets are designed to highlight aspects of LGB mental health in order to promote a better understanding of the issues faced by LGB service users who are experiencing difficulties with their mental health.
It is hoped that they will inform practice within the field of mental health and ensure that LGB people will receive better services which consider the potential impact of the person sexual orientation on their route into, and journey out of, mental distress.
While in no way being a medical diagnostic tool , it is hoped that they will offer useful information to individual LGB people who may have concerns about their own or others LGB people’s mental health and well being.
