We are creating pathways to support for LGBTIQ+, Sistergirl and Brotherboy people at risk of suicide. This website is part of the Talking Heals campaign, connecting you to specialist LGBTIQ+ services in the greater Brisbane area and providing advice and support to LGBTIQ+ people and Sistergirls and Brotherboys.
This campaign has been developed in response to the increased rates of suicide and self harm amongst LGBTIQ+, Sistergirl and Brotherboy people.
