MindOut LGBTQ Mental Health Service

Who we are

MindOut is a project run by and for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Queer people. Our staff, volunteers and board of trustees, are all LGBTQ. 100% of our team have lived experience of mental health needs, or caring responsibilities for a person with lived experience.

Our vision is a world where the mental health of LGBTQ communities is a priority, free from stigma, respected and recognised.

We are passionate about:

• Community and individual empowerment
• Mental wellbeing
• Co-production and client participation
• Staff wellbeing, performance and development
• Challenging stigma and discrimination
• Transparency
• Quality, excellence and innovation
• Diversity and inclusion, respecting individuality
• Meeting the needs of LGBTQ communities

We work to improve the mental health and wellbeing of LGBTQ communities and to make mental health a community concern.

Last year we helped 1,342 people struggling with social isolation, suicidal distress, financial hardship, discrimination and prejudice, hate crime and exclusion.
