IGLYO — The International LGBTQI Youth & Student Organisation is carrying out an anonymous survey designed for LGBTQI young people between 14 and 30 years old.
IGLYO wants to contribute to filling this gap and ensuring that the needs as LGBTQI young people are considered and met when it comes to the mental health.
As LGBTQI youth, they often experience outsized barriers to enjoying the right to health. This is where you come into play: Your experience and story as an LGBTQI young person can have a real impact for you and the whole community, no matter your experience with mental health!
This survey is carried out by IGLYO with the support of the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) 2021-2027 Programme of the European Union and the Council of Europe’s SOGI Unit. The contents of the survey are the sole responsibility of IGLYO and can in no way be taken to reflect the views of the European Commission or the Council of Europe.
What is the Survey about?
- With this survey they want to know more about LGBTQI youth’s needs and barriers to mental health. They explore topics such as anxiety and depression, and try to understand what helps and what doesn’t help LGBTQI young people’s mental health. They also look into the experiences of accessing support services and the factors that may affect the mental health.
Why are they doing this Survey?
- They will be using the results of the survey to inform the work with European and national authorities responsible for supporting LGBTQI youth and their mental health. They want to push for better services and legislation that is informed by the experience of young people.
Who can take the Survey?
- The survey is open to all LGBTQI young people between 14 and 30 years old based in the Council of Europe Member States. Even if you have not faced any mental health problems, you can participate.
Practicalities
- The survey is entirely anonymous and should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. The survey is available in English, Arabic, Italian, French, German and Spanish (more languages will be added later on). They would appreciate your response by 24 November.
