The impacts of biological and social determinants of mental health are powerful for women, and should be considered when addressing inequities in mental health outcomes.

Rainbow flags are great but positive word of mouth and flexible service delivery are the keys to building a truly trans inclusive mental health service, says Nic Robinson-Griffith, Therapeutic Service Director at Thorne Harbour Health.

Nic was a guest speaker at a recent Mind research mini conference designed to achieve more equitable outcomes for all cohorts using Mind services.

Alex says Mind’s Early Intervention Psychosocial Support Response (EIPSR) has helped him develop social skills and discover his passion for painting.

Peer practitioners are the living proof that you can experience mental health distress and still live a good life, says Mind peer practitioner Ashleigh Leventhal.

Mind Australia’s research has identified that women, youth, and gender diverse people are presenting with higher levels of psychological distress in its sub-acute services. These three cohorts also have comparatively lower rates of psychological distress at exit.
