My name is Hayley, and I am a second year trainee clinical psychologist at Newcastle University. I am currently looking for participants who would be interested in taking part in my research project, which is exploring the mental health needs of LGBTQ+ adults. I was wondering if you would be able to circulate my study to individuals involved with your service?

I am looking to recruit adults (aged 60 and over) who identify as LGBTQ+ and have had experience of mental health difficulties (either currently or in the past). Taking part in the study would involve a 60 minute interview to share their thoughts on how their mental health has changed as they have gotten older and how mental health services may be improved.

Please find attached my recruitment poster for more information. Study advertisement

If you know of anyone who may fit the criteria to take part and may be interested, please feel free to forward this on.

If you have any questions or would like further information, please feel free to email me on h.carrick@newcastle.ac.uk.

Many thanks in advance for your help.
