LGBT Mental Health Capacity Building Project: Impact Report

This report aims to share the learning from a pilot LGBT Mental Health Capacity Building Project that was delivered during 2014-2016. This small scale pilot followed on from the successful 3 ½ year LGBT Mental Health Demonstration Project that we delivered during 2010-2013.

Funding from the Scottish Government enabled both of these projects to focus on the barriers that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people face in accessing mental health services as well as promoting good practice within mainstream mental health services.

The most recent pilot provided practical advice and support to mainstream providers to explore ways that they could become more culturally competent in meeting the needs of LGBT people who use their services.

This report highlights what the pilot delivered as well as learning gained from this.
