Project description
This project aims to visually map the journeys and experiences of LGBTQA+ young people in Australia with lived experience of accessing mental health support through formal healthcare, youth and community services, and informal networks of care. Specifically, it aims to better understand the integration of digital and face-to-face delivery of support and identify strengths and gaps in the provision of services and support across these journeys.
