LGBTI+ Life in Lockdown: Key Findings

Although young people are estimated to have the lowest mortality rates from COVID-19, they are not immune to its consequences.  LGBTI+ young people didn't stop experiencing crises during the current pandemic.  Many felt even more isolated from their support networks.  Some experienced emotional and physical abuse.  Many felt alone, scared and anxious.  It had an impact on their mental and physical health.  BeLonG To Youth Services conducted a ‘LGBTI+ Life in Lockdown’ survey to try to understand what life is like for LGBTI+ youth during the pandemic, in order to provide the most appropriate support to them.  You can read the findings at: https://belongto.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/LGBTI-Life-in-Lockdown-Key-Findings.pdf
