This week we speak with the brilliant Dr Liam Cahill and Dr Beth Jones about their research into LGBTQ+ mental health, wellbeing, body image, and community experiences. We explore minority stress, loneliness, community connection, and the mental health impacts of discrimination and misinformation. Emphasising co-produced, affirmative research and real-world impact, Beth and Liam highlight how centring lived experience can inform better policy and practice, while sharing optimism grounded in resilient communities and a growing generation of engaged, affirming researchers.
