Background
LGBT people suffer more mental illness and worse mental health outcomes than the general population. Over the next few years the Department's Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Advisory Group (SOGIAG) is running a programme to improve health and social care provision for LGBT people working in or accessing services.
As part of this programme, SOGIAG, supported by the Department's Equality and Human Rights Group, is holding a conference. It will include the launch of a new study by CSIP and NIMHE into the prevalence of mental disorders, suicide and self-harm among LGBT people.
The conference will take place on Wednesday 28th May at the Britannia Hotel, Nottingham, commencing at 10.00 am and finishing at 4.30 pm.
