Rainbow resource for mental healthcare

This resource offers guidance for mental health clinicians to understand the needs of LGBTIQ+ young people and effectively support their mental health and wellbeing through affirming, best-practice care.

It is designed to be used by NSW Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) clinicians and other mental health clinicians working with young people. It supports them to:

• understand LGBTIQ+ communities, history, identity and experience
• support LGBTIQ+ young people, their parents and carers in clinical practice
• foster an inclusive and effective therapeutic environment.
