Description
Let's talk about Mental Health! We’re diving into some pretty eye-opening statistics about mental health issues within the LGBTQIA+ community in Australia.
We’ll talk about the startling numbers, unpack the challenges queer people face, and really get into why mental health is such a big deal in our community. We’re sharing our own thoughts and personal experiences, connecting the dots between the data and our lives.
From the impact of queer challenges and stigma to the higher rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts in our community, we’ll explore why these issues are so prevalent and what they mean for all of us.
Whether you’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community or an ally, this episode is a must-listen to understand the challenges we face and how we can all help make things better.
