About the event:

Join us for an insightful and empowering panel discussion dedicated to exploring the unique mental health and wellbeing experiences within the diverse LGBTQ+ community. In a world that doesn't always understand or accept, fostering mental resilience and advocating for inclusive support is more vital than ever.

This event will bring together a dynamic group of LGBTQ+ individuals, mental health professionals, advocates, and allies to share their perspectives, challenges, and strategies for promoting positive mental health. Our aim is to create a safe, supportive, and informative space for open dialogue, shared learning, and community connection.

Whether you identify as LGBTQ+, are an ally, a healthcare professional, or simply wish to learn more, your presence contributes to a more understanding and supportive society. Come prepared to listen, learn, and engage in meaningful conversation.
