A leading national survey finds that 22% of LGBTQ+ women respondents have attempted suicide, and 66% reported seeking treatment for trauma. “The trauma burden in this community is enormous,” said Jaime Grant, one of the researchers who conducted the survey. These findings are included in a report released Tuesday from the Urvashi Vaid National LGBTQ+ Women’s Community Survey, named after the late lesbian activist. The report comes from analysis of a national survey of 5,000 LGBTQ+ respondents who previously or currently identify as a woman, conducted between June 2021 and June 2022.

Queer identity and mental health have a strong influence on each other. When you can express your identity openly and safely, you are much more likely to be thriving – but unfortunately, research has shown that the LGBTQ+ community is disproportionately affected by poor mental health. Stats NZ found that “People in the LGBTQ+ population were over two times more likely to have daily feelings of anxiety," and in our own database, we found that LGBTQ+ people who logged their mood on our app were approx. 30% more likely to log their mood as being "tired" or "flat." This goes to show that there is an array of issues presented to people who identify as queer which can take a toll on their overall wellbeing, leaving many feeling like they are "languishing," rather than thriving. In this webinar, Claire Black (she/her) will join us to help unpack the unique mental health challenges the LGBTQ+ community face, and how we can all help navigate these issues in our personal lives, online, and in the workplace.
