LGBTQ+ Support

What do we want to do?

We understand that waiting times for counselling for #LGBTQ+ young people can be quite lengthy. Our goal is to alleviate this issue by providing support for funded #counselling sessions within the community. 

My Solution Wellbeing

We are working with My Solution Wellbeing Nottingham to provide counselling sessions with experts specialised in LGBTQ+ matters, transgender and transitioning, relationships, family conflicts and everything that comes with being a young member of the LGBTQ+ community. 

Funded Counselling Sessions for LGBTQ+ Youth

We are working to reduce the waiting times for LGBTQ+ youths to access mental health support by funding a programme of 6 private counselling sessions. These will be available to 12-18 year old's in full-time education who feel as though they are struggling due to an aspect of their LGBTQ+ identity, for example

We're working hard to develop our #lgbtq+ support 🏳️‍🌈 If you're looking for help in the meantime, here are some great organisations 💕

Developing our offering

At the moment we are on a tight budget and can only commit to funding 6 counselling sessions each for 2 people. We will use the feedback from these sessions to develop our funded counselling programme, and as we increase our funds we can increase the amount of candidates we are able to support. For the time being, counselling will  be offered in the order of application, those who are not offered counselling as part of this 2 person trial will be placed on a waiting list and contacted when we have more funds available.
