Supporting the mental health of LGBTQ+ young people
The training takes approximately 1.5 hours to complete, and covers topics including:
- Using appropriate language and terminology when supporting LGBTQ+ young people;
- The current landscape of LGBTQ+ young people’s mental health;
- The impact of the social determinants of health on LGBTQ+ young people’s mental health;
- The impact of minority stress upon LGBTQ+ young people’s mental health; and
- Practical strategies to help build resilience among LGBTQ+ young people.
Once you have taken the online course you will receive a certificate of completion.
Working with Belong To
Jigsaw and Belong To came together in 2016 to find a way to support LGBTQ+ young people and their mental health. We co-designed a day-long workshop for those who work or volunteer with young people. This is the second iteration of that course, updated to meet the current cultural environment and needs of LGBTQ+ youth.
