In Romania, LGBTQ+ people are twice as likely to develop a mental health condition, and 6 times as likely to have a suicide attempt, than heterosexual and cisgender people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fact is due to a much higher number of homophobia- and transphobia-related factors negatively impacting mental health, including discrimination in all shapes and forms, rejection from family and friends, bullying and hate crimes. Discrimination is also witnessed at the level of medical and psychological services (primarily because of homophobic and transphobic specialists), meaning that precisely the people who are in highest need do not get the support they need.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Through our projects, we wish (1) to help LGBTQ+ people find a suitable mental health professional, (2) to make available information about mental health and personal stories specifically meant for queer people, and (3) to create a safe space and a community in which queer people can express themselves freely.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
