MindOut for Each Other

I feel proud and like I’m making a difference. It’s not just MindOut for mental health or for being LGBTQ – my wrist band says “MindOut for each other” and MindOut truly does that.

Welcome to MindOut

MindOut is a mental health service run by and for lesbians, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer people.

We work to improve the mental health and wellbeing of all LGBTQ communities and to make mental health a community concern.

We recognise that our communities are wonderfully diverse and welcome all LGBTQ+ people including those who identify as asexual, aromantic, pansexual, non-binary, genderqueer, genderfluid and intersex.

Our services are also available to those who may not identify under the LGBTQ umbrella including straight people who have sexual and/or romantic relationships with LGBTQ people, men who have sex with men, women who have sex with women, people who previously identified as LGBTQ and those who are questioning their sexual and/or gender identities. If you are unsure, please do get in touch with us.

Our services are for LGBTQ people aged 18+ who are based in Brighton and Hove, with the exception of our Online Support service which is available globally. See below for opening times.

MindOut is continuing to work hard to become an anti-racist organisation, part of which is understanding and processing white privilege. We are taking the time to educate ourselves and listen to our staff, service users and volunteers so we can be true allies. We are asking ourselves tough questions and having honest conversations as a team because we want to drive long-term change for BIPoC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) LGBTQ communities. We have secured funds to provide more mental health support for QTIPoC (Queer, Trans, and Intersex People of Colour) which we will be commissioning in the next few months.

I want to talk about the importance of having LGBTQ specific services for people with mental health issues – when you are gay and you have mental health issues it’s like a double attack sometimes…
