This document centers mental health services that support and are inclusive of the LGBTQIA+ community, the Black and POC communities, and those at the intersections. Due to everything moving online, most of the options offer remote therapy (via Zoom/ telephone). There are also email templates on the final page that you can copy and paste and send to organisations/therapists when enquiring about therapy. Created by Black Trans Foundation.
