It’s no secret that our community is disproportionately affected by mental health issues, with 2021 research finding young queer people in particular are increasingly struggling to maintain their mental wellbeing during the pandemic. However, Brighton & Hove is home to a multitude of organisations set up with LGBTQ+ wellbeing in mind, and aim to be a source of support for anyone in need during these trying times and beyond. Our mental health heroes are all local LGBTQ+ advocacy workers who have dedicated their lives to providing essential assistance for our local community so that we can all live happier, healthier lives. And we for one think they all deserve a round of applause!
