CMH hosted an interdisciplinary panel on challenges related to the access to appropriate and respectful mental healthcare within LGBTQ+ communities. Panelists discussed advances in service provision, current barriers, and how future mental healthcare professionals can improve the appropriateness of assessment, intervention, and collaboration with LGBTQ+ clients and their supporters. The panel was an opportunity to collaborate and engage students in discussions about their past experiences in this field, the issues that the LGBTQ+ community continues to face, and the advocacy initiatives that either exist or may be created to address these gaps in services.
We had a great time seeing everyone there!
