Improving Support for LGBTIQ Suicidal Behaviour: Insight from Lived Experience

Funded by the Suicide Prevention Research Fund, hear from Professor Katherine Johnson and Dr Vanessa Lee-Ah Mat discuss their study “Improving support for LGBTIQ suicidal behaviour: insight from lived experience”.  

Their research included the shared experience of First Nations LGBTIQA+ people, “Queer people of colour”, and other LGBTIQA+ people, and looked at how we can improve support for people experiencing suicidal distress, especially in cases of intersectionality. This webinar will broadly overview the research itself, with a strong focus on the practical implication for service delivery and will include some resources that have been developed as a result. 

The webinar has been designed to introduce the latest research in suicide prevention and help everyday practitioners think about how to apply that research in the field. 

Expected Audience: people engaged with policy, frontline service delivery for LGBTIQA+ people, and especially for First Nations LGBTIQA+ people, and “Queer People of colour” 

Comms might target program and service delivery to LGBTIQ, First Nations, and CALD.
