*RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY FOR SCHOOLS* We are looking to speak with school staff about the impact of anti-homophobic, biphobic, and transphobic interventions on young people’s mental health. Get in touch to find out more, and have your say!

The study aims to produce a better understanding of improving LGBTQ+ young people's mental health and wellbeing by making schools more inclusive.

HOW WILL IT HELP We know that young LGBTQ+ people experience bullying in schools based on their sexuality and gender. We also know that young LGBTQ+ people have far worse mental health than their cis heterosexual counterparts

We want to talk to school staff and pupils to get their opinions on what works best for tackling anti-homophobic/biphobic/transphobic bullying

WHAT ARE WE DOING We are investigating how anti-homophobic/biphobic/transphobic interventions can impact on the mental health of young people

We have 3 Researchers; Dr Rosie Nelson (@roropanolo), Liam Spencer (@LiamPSpencer) and Emma Geijer-Simpson
