Welcome to the special May edition of Life in Mind eNews, featuring LGBTIQA+ suicide prevention activities and the latest published research.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, asexual, and other sexuality, gender, and bodily diverse (LGBTIQA+) people are priority populations in suicide prevention. LGBTIQA+ people show considerable resilience despite adversity, and many organisations, community groups and individuals work tirelessly to promote health and wellbeing.
From national best practice guidelines to regional approaches, we spotlight a handful of LGBTIQA+ suicide prevention initiatives, programs, and research in Australia.
