Winter and the lead up to Christmas can be a particularly difficult time for LGBTQ people with additional challenges to mental health including
- Social Isolation and loneliness
- Hiding their identity and authentic selves
- Family issues
- Relationship breakdowns
- Grief and loss
- Financial stress
- Increased self-harm and suicidal ideation
To meet ongoing demand we are increasing peer support specifically to address isolation and will be available online over Christmas and New Year when LGBTQ people are feeling more vulnerable.
We rely on the generosity of people that believe in our mission to operate our services, and we trust that there are lots of people that want to see our organisation thrive. Without you, our vital work would not be possible.
