Mental Health Resources for the LGBTQ Community

ByMikeM Reading Time: 1 minute

In the past few days, I came across a couple of resources targeted toward the LGBTQ community, and I wanted to share them here.

The first is from the UK. A website dedicated to the Trans community, Transactual.uk.org, has a page dedicated to mental health and wellbeing resources. It contains information on services and programs for all members of the LGBTQ community, with a focus on the Trans community in the UK.

The second is from the CPTSD Foundation. It’s not free, but it is intense.

Pride Support Program

This program features live calls and online groups, in a safe and supportive atmosphere, all designed through a trauma-informed lens, and developed to provide information, affirmation, and encouragement to trauma survivors in the LGBTQIA+ community.

If you or someone you know could benefit from these resources, please pass it on!

    Dismissing people who are genuinely suffering, and implying that they’d be fine if they’d simply stop worrying, is a costly error in judgment. It’s time to retire condescending stereotypes like “the worried well.” Mental illness doesn’t always take forms as dramatic as a broken leg or a harsh cough, but it deserves proper treatment as…

  • Sharing – Trauma Is Not a One-Size-Fits-All

    ByMikeM Reading Time: 2 minutes

    As many of you know, we spent much of 2019 grieving. Then, we spent most of 2020, and the early parts of 2021 dealing with a global pandemic. Now that I have been vaccinated, I am also realizing just how much PTSD I’m dealing with. As I have read a few times in the last couple of weeks about others, I am now in a situation where I should feel pretty safe, but I don’t. I’ve spent 2 years waiting for someone else I know to die, and then doing my best to not be near anyone. I can’t just turn that off now that I have been vaccinated. I still get extremely anxious when I have to be somewhere. I still pay very, very careful attention to anyone around me when I’m in public, and just generally spend that time being on edge, constantly. It’s exhausting. It makes me want to stay home, and avoid people. My being vaccinated didn’t change that at all.

  • Sharing – How building a support system helps my mental health

    ByMikeM Reading Time: 2 minutes

    What I really enjoyed about the list of things Anya uses to support her own well-being is that some of them are simple activities, yoga, reading, knitting, etc.

    Many of us think of our support network when it comes to addiction, mental health, healing trauma, etc., in terms of the people around us. That’s an important part of it, yes, but there are also the things we do to support ourselves. Those are important too.

    My list of support activities doesn’t look at all like Anya’s, but it’s there. Getting out and taking photos, learning new technologies, writing, listening to podcasts, etc. Those things keep me connected and involved with the things that interest me, and they are an important part of taking care of my mental health.
