YAMHA Erasmus+ English
Namely, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and other self-identified queer (LGBTQ) youth have higher rates of mental health issues than people in the general population. This could be due to neglect, lack of support, discrimination, trauma, abuse, etc that could potentially lead to poor mental health, suicide, substance abuse, anti-social behaviour, at risk sexual encounters, depression, stress, anxiety etc.
Alongside building an international community of practises and sharing knowledge it would be of advantage to capture case studies of the work that partners, and other local LGBTIQ organisations have been implementing so far. Therefore, project resources or intellectual outputs developed will be presented as a Guidebook and series of educational/tool presenting animated videos that would be disseminated across EU and available for use for the organisations interested in LGBTIQ youth affirmative mental health.
