The History, Present & Future of LGBTQ+ Mental Health

Event details

Three invited speakers will give short talks considering the historical context of LGBTQ+ mental health, the inequalities in mental health faced by these communities today, and how we can improve treatment in the future. This will be followed by a panel discussion drawing on our speakers’ experiences researching the mental health of LGBTQ+ people, working with these groups clinically, and teaching future clinicians to reflect on their practice. These discussions will be relevant to everyone, including LGBTQ+ staff and students and their personal supervisors, as well as those who aim to work clinically, assessing and improving mental health with diverse sexualities and genders. 

Speakers:

Dr. Qazi Rahman, Co-director of the LGBT Mental Health Research Group, King's College London

Dr. Ruth Knight, Lecturer, York St Johns

Dr. Miles Rogish, University of York & York House Acquired Brain Injury Service
