Get it off your chest! At times we all need a helping hand
Paid care by therapists for LGBTQ folks with love, we understand your world.
Research shows that LGBTQ people have higher rates of mental health challenges than the general population.

LGBTQ youth are about three to four times as likely to attempt suicide as their peers.

Society plays huge role in health and well-being of LGBT individuals. Discrimination, social stigma, marginalization, bullying,isolation and rejection by the society affect their mental health.
For too many LGBT employees, discrimination is a way of life. Usually, they prefer to hide their private lives from clientsand colleagues for fear of homophobia, exclusion or in case they are ignored for valuable promotions.
There is huge role of family acceptance in saving lives of LGBTQ individuals. It brings positivity and encouragement to lead a normal life and face the world.
Opening up about your sexuality is not easy. It is a personal matter. You should do this when you feel ready. Tell your family when you feel comfortable and confident. We all have to accept ourselves first.
True friends don’t judge or discriminate you on any basis. If you don’t have such friends, talk to LGBTIAQ+ support groups to learn more and share your feelings with them. In such situations, they can be your true friends.
It takes a lot of strength and courage to talk to your relatives about your identity. Allow your relatives some time to take the news in. Just like you expect them to be sensitive and understanding; return the favour by being sensitive.
Any kind of discrimination in job hiring is not acceptable. It is up to you if you want to share your identity during the hiring process. Most employers are supportive and encourage LGBTIAQ+ hiring. Reach out to your local NGOs or hiring agencies who work on LGBTIAQ+ placements to guide you if needed.
It is very hard to be different in India. And if you are gay and recently diagnosed with HIV, the mental pressures can be crushing. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the psychiatrists at DrSafeHands, who held my hand and saw me through my most difficult times. I am proud to be gay and am fitter than most of the population. My message to you, don't fight alone, Get Help. It can do wonders.
My gender assigned at birth is female but I am actually a male. The mental conflict to live this kind of dual life led me to depression. I got some timely help by this platform DrSafeHands, was able to speak with LGBTQ friendly doctors and understood the entire process of SRS. After my sessions, I feel much lighter and happier.
I am a trans-man facing discrimination everyday. Society is so intimidating that I wanted to do something to myself. That is when DrSafeHands counselled me. Thank you for being a friend and making me understand value of life. It will be hard to live but I will not give up.
