Since June is #PrideMonth, I wanted to use this as an opportunity to discuss the importance of creating safe spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals and dive into some steps allies can take to normalize practices to foster supportive environments through the Young Minds Initiative. LGBTQ+ individuals — especially transgender and non-binary people — experience higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation than non-LGBTQ+ individuals. There are many different facets that contribute to mental health — from the common factors that affect all people, like school, work, news, socioeconomics, background, family, etc. to more specific elements, such as increased anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, not respecting a person’s pronouns, experiencing targeted bullying from peers at school, not having access to gender-affirming healthcare, and much more. All people are deserving of a safe space where they can be their authentic selves and talk about their #mentalhealth. I invite you to read my most recent blog post, “Celebrating Pride: Fostering Safe Spaces for LGBTQ+ Folx” below! https://lnkd.in/gYnPhG-5

Palliative Care Inclusion & Community Partnership Lead, The Mary Stevens Hospice | Co- Founder No Barriers Here | Strategic Development Chair | Director GA Consultancy | Former charity chair and trustee |
Delighted to publish this new resource today from our latest No Barriers Here study. It doesn’t have all the answers, nor does it collectively represent all LGBTQ+ people, but it does invite us to consider and reflect on the care that we provide or commission. This way we can move in the right direction towards making positive change to equitable #palliativecare. #research #peolc #LGBTQ+ #equity https://lnkd.in/ezMhm3Cy
“The sense of uncertainty and vulnerability that this position can bring might even stop us from seeking medical help at all.” Do you work at individual, organisational or leadership level? Do you provide care or commission services? Do you want to provide safer, more equitable #PalliativeCare? Take a look at our new co-produced resource, published today. ‘It’s more than rainbows in receptions’ - Working with LGBTQ+ People in Palliative and End-of-Life Care.

Advocate for LGBT+ Awareness and Wellbeing | Third Year Student Paramedic | Civilian Instructor: RAFAC I Author and founder of The Trans* Truth
A large focus on trans* healthcare centres itself around the medical transition process. This is important, but why do we neglect to mention acute and chronic condition management? Approximately 70% of trans* individuals have faced discrimination from their primary care GP, 14% have been refused treatment as a result of their gender reassignment status. We need to ensure all healthcare is trans* inclusive, from maternity to emergency to end of life. I could post countless stories of my own experience on both sides of the coin, as a student paramedic and a patient. The healthcare disparities that trans* people face call for a huge cultural shift within the NHS. It requires both individual clinicians and wider networks to actively seek education and understanding of the trans* experience in the context of the healthcare setting.
