The Queer Futures research report is now available. The report describes the main findings from a two year national study funded by the Dept. Health. The aim of the study was to investigate LGBT youth, suicide, self-harm and help-seeking. The results of the study have generated a great deal of interest at a national level including the Governments Equalities Office, Dept. Health and Public Health England.
