About Mind Out:
MindOut is a mental health service run by and for lesbians, gay, bisexual, trans and queer people with experience of mental health issues.
We work to improve the mental health and wellbeing of LGBTQ communities and to make mental health a community concern.
We do this by:
Listening to and responding to the LGBTQ experience of mental health
Offering hope through positive relationships and professional expertise
Preventing isolation, crisis and suicidal distress in LGBTQ communities
Providing safe spaces for people to meet and support each other
Helping people protect their rights and get their voices heard
Campaigning and creating conversations about LGBTQ mental health throughout the world
MindOut is needed because LGBTQ people:
do not get the support they need for their mental health from mainstream services
often feel isolated from LGBTQ communities
face additional discrimination, exclusion and minority stress
deserve a space where their identities are recognised and understood
We welcome all LGBTQ people and those who may not identify as LGBTQ including men who have sex with men, women who have sex with women, intersex people, people who previously identified as trans and people who are questioning their sexual and/or gender identities. If in doubt, please do contact us.
Our vision is a world where the mental health of LGBTQ communities is a priority, free from stigma, respected and recognised.
We are passionate about:
Community and individual empowerment
Mental wellbeing
Co-production and client participation
Staff wellbeing, performance and development
Challenging stigma and discrimination
Transparency
Quality, excellence and innovation
Diversity and inclusion, respecting individuality
Meeting the needs of LGBTQ communities
