How have
you been
feeling?

We can all do more to break down the stigma around talking about mental health.

Good mental health is an ongoing journey for many people, but for LGBTQ+ people that journey can be more challenging.

Issues such as discrimination, homophobia and transphobia, plus experiences of hate crimes, social isolation and rejection mean that LGBTQ+ people, unfairly, experience more mental health challenges.

Check-in with Pride aims to foster a more inclusive and compassionate environment, and better support our LGBTQ+ friends, family, work mates, neighbours and chosen families. You can ask: How are you feeling? Is there anything you would like to talk about? (Learn about mental health conversations from Mind).

Together we can normalise conversations about mental health, and in doing so support more people who are struggling.
