About this event:

The Women's Mental Health Network are proud to host this webinar exploring diverse mental health needs of LGBTQ+ women. This event will explore topics such as mental health needs at different life stages, and ways mental health services and practitioners can improve awareness and responsiveness to the needs of LGBTQ+ women. We hope to provide a platform to discuss how mental health services can better meet the needs of women in the LGBTQ+ community and what fully inclusive mental healthcare might look like. This event is in support of Pride 2022.
