Want to help us address our unmet needs and gaps?

Mental Health Partnership

Our GBT2Q+ mental health partnership table is made up of mental health practitioners (which includes managers and front line workers from agencies, community workers, and private practitioners). We meet quarterly to get feedback on our programs and services, discuss issues relevant to our communities, and understand how we can work together to address these barriers systemically. Each meeting usually includes a presentation on a topic pertinent to the GBT2Q+ communities that we work with.
