The RBC Patient and Family Learning Space at CAMH would like you to join them for the second of a four session series on how the COVID-19 pandemic and the accompanying public health restrictions worsened existing inequalities for LGBTQ2S+ communities.
Members of the research team will present the results of a survey of 484 individuals as well as interviews with 44 people living in Toronto in 2021. The data explores themes around mental health, coping and health behaviours, sources of stress, as well as social support and community involvement.
