LGBT Ireland and UCD are seeking research participants for the Irish contribution of a European project on improving mental health access. The Equicares Project is exploring real-life barriers that people face when trying to access support and how we can work together to build more inclusive, effective mental health systems.
The research team will be looking at the experiences of LGBTQI+ people with mental health support services.
- Who can participate?
You must be:
– 18 or older
– Live in Ireland
– Have tried to access mental health services at some point in your life
If you agree to participate, we ask you to complete an online survey on your experience of accessing or trying to access mental health support services in Ireland. You can access the survey with the following link: https://erasmusuniversity.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5btF3mpYE4MehGm
All data will be anonymised and treated confidentially. The collected data will be published as a report in 2026 and shared back to the community.
