Join us for the premiere of Dundee Pride's short film followed by dicussion.

The film features LGBTQ+ people sharing their thoughts and experiences of mental health services in Dundee. Participants reflect on how coming out as gay and trans has impacted their mental health and how the recent lockdowns have compounded feelings of isolation. Also highlighted are some of the barriers they face as members of the LGBTQ+ community when it comes to obtaining appropriate treatment from GPs and other mental health service providers in Dundee. The issues as seen from a health services professional is also featured.
