MindOUT! is the National LGBTI Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Projectbeing delivered by the National LGBTI Health Alliance with the Queensland elements of MindOUT! being delivered at a state level by Queensland Association for Healthy Communities.
This is the first national project of its kind that is working to increase the capacity of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex communities to respond to suicide and to increase the responsiveness of mainstream mental health services to LGBTI service users

An important element of MindOUT! are the ‘Standing Strong’ seminars and workshops about mental health and suicide in the LGBTI communities that have been delivered across Australia, and are now coming to Brisbane.

‘These are a practical space for LGBTI people and communities to learn about how to deal with depression, anxiety and suicide with a specific focus on the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people.’ Said Sally Morris, MindOUT! Queensland Coordinator
‘Depression, anxiety and suicide is significant in the LGBTI community as a result of discrimination, homophobia and prejudice, and these workshops are a space for LGBTI people to lean about what they can do to actively challenge this experience.’ Said Morris
