If you were spiralling in 2009 you are not alone. This week I’m joined by Sarah (she/her) from the Leeds LGBT+ Minds Project to discuss mental health & accessing mental health services as a LGBTQ+ person. Please note: Sarah works for Leeds Mental Wellbeing Service but is speaking in a personal capacity on this podcast and all views are her own.
