How tele mental health services can offer inclusive support the LGBTQ community

Let’s see how tele mental health services can support the LGBTQ community and other diverse groups within our communities:

• Tele mental health services can be used to support LGBTQ individuals, who may feel more comfortable accessing care from a remote location rather than in-person.
• Allows for access to specialized LGBTQ mental health providers who may be difficult to find in-person.
• The ability to receive care from the comfort of one’s own home can feel safer and more confidential for some.
• Telemental health services can be tailored to the unique cultural and social contexts of specific communities. It helps to ensure that the care provided is sensitive to the needs of diverse groups of people.
• Tailored therapy sessions that address the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ individuals.
• Flexible appointment scheduling can accommodate work schedules or other life responsibilities.
• Reduces the stigma surrounding seeking mental health care, as teletherapy is more widely accepted as a valid form of treatment.
• Tele mental health services can be tailored to the unique cultural and social contexts of specific communities, to help ensure that the care provided is sensitive to the needs of diverse groups of people.
• Tele mental health services can be provided to people with disabilities including those with mobility impairments, deaf or hard of hearing individuals, and people with visual impairments, who may face barriers accessing traditional mental health services.
