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!

  • Sharing – Talking to Others About My Mental Health

    ByMikeM Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I do understand this. I don’t make a habit of talking about my mental health when I get to spend time with friends, even though many of them read this blog and know about my history. Mostly, that’s because we’ve bonded for years over other things like work, shared interests, music, etc. Talking about mental health just hasn’t been what we’ve done in the past when we’re together and it’s comfortable to simply slide right back into those same roles when we are together.

    There’s nothing wrong with that. Talking about mental health doesn’t have to occur each and every time we communicate with friends. We all get to have fun nights out without having that deep of a conversation. But, talking about it some of the time lets everyone in the group know that, when they need it, they can talk about it.
