Looking for a good psych ward / mental health facility in the brisbane area for LGBT people

Kimuraaaa — Wed, 11 Aug 2021 04:32:14 GMT

hi everyone, I've been looking for a bit now, looked at stuff but I never see anything about LGBT+ or gender identities which kind of concerns me of how I'd be treated if I checked into one of them. Does anyone here have experience with any mental health facilities in this area that were good or yeah, thanks.

Hello Kimuraaaa,

A very warm welcome to our forums..

I have been in a mental health facility a few times...and just wanted to reassure you that no one is judged at all in the facility I was admitted to....

I think that most of the mental health facilities are all about mental health..things like religion, gender identity etc..doesn’t really get talked about by any of the patients...unless they want to talk about it...mostly it’s all about getting our mental health sorted out..if you mental health problems are caused by gender identity or LGBT...you could always if you wanted to...talk to your appointed psychiatrist....for guidance and help....

Not sure if I helped at all....another thing you could do is to talk to your GP..about your concerns of entering a private or public mental health facility.....

My kind thoughts dear Kimuraaaa...

Grandy..

Dear Kimuraaaa

I'd like to join Grandy in welcoming you here. My own hospitalization experience has had nothing to do with LBGTQI+ or gender identities, in fact no one even asked (as far as I can remember).

Maybe in the in the website

Might either be a help of might be able to put you in touch with an organisation that can in your area. They do not operate 24/7 so you will have to look up the times. My apologies if I'm telling you something you already know.

I hope this is of some help.

If you think we can be of any assistance sing out, there are many here from all walks of life who have been though hard times and want to help

We'd like to know how you get on

Croix
