RHA LGBTIQA+ Mental Health Uplift project | February 2025 focus groups application
Thanks for your interest taking part in our lived experience focus groups for the Mental Health Workforce Capability Uplift project for LGBTIQA+ communities.

This project aims to support mental health services to provide safer, more inclusive and responsive services for LGBTIQA+ people and their families/support people. RHA and our partners are doing this by tailoring our core training and other programs for the mental health sector. 

We are working with people who have lived and living experience of mental health issues (personal or support) in a range of ways across the project, including these focus groups.

Please note, applications for the focus groups are now closed. 

OTHER ACTIVITIES TO CONSIDER
The remaining lived experience activity being offered for this project is the Rainbow Mob workshops, postponed from November 2024, for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with lived experience of social and emotional wellbeing and mental health challenges. To find out more, please call Rainbow Health Australia on 9479 8700 and leave a message for LGBTIQ First Nations Senior Project Coordinator Dan Powell.

For any LGBTIQA+ person interested in mental health lived experienced advocacy, RHA highly recommends the Charlee National Lived Experience Network for LGBTIQA+ people with lived experience (self or as a support person) of suicidality. 

The Lived Experience Network is a volunteer program  run by Switchboard Victoria that offers supportive learning activities and opportunities to share your lived experience to contribute to both Switchboard programs and resources, as well as those of external agencies that are seeking lived experience participation.

To find out more and get involved visit charlee.org.au/lived-experience-network.

Support people of loved ones with mental health challenges who are interested in lived experience advocacy can get involved in Tandem Carers, visit tandemcarers.org.au/p/p/Home.aspx.
