One of our counsellors saw this survey targeting young people 14yo-21yo who identify as LGBTIQ, and thought it could be something to share on the Health & Wellbeing Blog. She was correct, hence I am sharing it \ud83d\ude42 I’ve reproduced the advertisement from the linked website. Visit the links at the bottom to participate<\/p>\n

This is Me<\/em>\u00a0is the largest national study exploring the health and wellbeing of LGBTIQ young people in Australia.<\/strong>\u00a0Conducted by the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health & Society (ARCSHS) at La Trobe University, this short (8-10 minute) survey asks young people a range of questions about health and wellbeing as well as who young people go to for help and support if they need it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is Me<\/em>\u00a0is the fourth study of its kind. ARCSHS has previously conducted versions of this study in\u00a01998<\/a>,\u00a02004<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a02010<\/a>, as well as a study specifically about the health and wellbeing of transgender and gender diverse young people in\u00a02014<\/a>. These studies documented high levels of harm, and examined the impact that such stigma and discrimination had on the health and wellbeing of LGBTIQ+ young people, as well as seeking to better understand who LGBTIQ+ young people turned to when in need.<\/p>\n

The data collected from\u00a0This is Me<\/em>\u00a0will provide important insight into the present-day lives and experiences of LGBTIQ young people. The responses young people give will help us to understand what can support LGBTIQ young people to thrive.<\/p>\n

Evidence from the study will enable organisations, services and government to make informed decisions about how to best support the health and wellbeing of LGBTIQ young people. Findings from the study will inform the development of LGBTIQ-inclusive mainstream, and LGBTIQ-specific, youth policies, programs and services.<\/p>\n
