New LGBT Minds Research Project

 

LGBT Minds is a research project that aims to explore the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in mainstream mental health services in Ireland. This study is supported by the Gay and Lesbian Equality Network (GLEN) and the HSE. The study is being led by Dr. Eddie McCann, a lecturer in Trinity College Dublin, in collaboration with Professor Agnes Higgins. Ethical approval has been granted by the Research Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Health Sciences in Trinity College Dublin.

The study will collect data using an anonymous survey that can be accessed at www.lgbtminds.ie and then interviewing participants in order to learn more about their experiences and opinions of mental health services. The findings from this study will be used to make recommendations about how to best address the identified mental health service needs of LGBT people in Ireland.
