Hillingdon Mind has employed a dedicated LGBT project coordinator whose sole role is to develop a support service for LGBT adults with mental health problems in the London Borough of Hillingdon.
Support services to be launched in early November will consist of a social group meeting once a week, trips and other activities decided by members on a quarterly basis.
There will also be a mentoring and buddying system that will aim to support those most in need.
LGBT Project Coordinator Lukasz, said:
“Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are more likely to suffer mental health problems due to social isolation and prejudice attached to those identities, if we add to it the stigma attached to mental health, we have a very vulnerable group. I am pleased that Hillingdon Mind recognises it.”
