| Dear Friend, you are invited to the event LGBTI + Rural life during COVID-19. Evidence suggests that the disproportionately high incidence of poor mental health within the LGBTI+ population living rurally is due to prejudice, isolation and minority stress. Prejudice and lack of inclusion is experienced in social life, the public sector, work life and school. Evidence shows that service provision is not meeting the needs of LGBTI+ people in rural areas in Scotland. This lack of provision leads to feelings of isolation and lack of visibility. We know that these are big issues with significant impact on the community, and Covid 19 has potentially made things worse. We want to ensure that LGBTI people living rurally are heard when it comes to social, economic and community recovery. Please join us on the 17th of September at 6pm. For an online event to allow for open and safe discussion around LGBTI inclusion and equality. Open to all LGBTI people who live and work within rural spaces, who would like to share their experiences in order to see improvements made. |
