Listening exercise for children and young people who identify as LGBTQ+

NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire would like to hear from you!

If you’re aged 11 to 25 and identify as LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, non-binary and those who are exploring gender identity and sexual orientation), we want to know about your experiences of emotional health and wellbeing services. These services are delivered in line with the THRIVE framework and principles, and form part of the ‘getting advice’ and ‘getting help’ categories of the framework.

We want your feedback on:

• Your current experiences of health and wellbeing services as an LGBTQ+ person: what is working well for you and what could be better?
• What can health and wellbeing services do so that LGBTQ+ children and young people feel comfortable, safe and accepted?

Your feedback will help us improve support for you and others.
