Hey folks, I have been following The Trevor Project's survey for a few years now and their 2023 one is just presented in a fantastic, easy to read and understand way so I think it's a great resource and worth sharing

The Trevor Project 2023 Survey on Mental Health in LGBTQ young people

BUT, I'm also looking for similar reports focusing on other minoritized populations in particular, or (whether in part or in full) focusing on the age ranges covering college students. I'm struggling to find something nearly so comprehensive, but I'm also not sure I'm looking in the right way. The Steve Fund seems to be a great resource for mental health for students of color, for example, but doesn't have obviously available data like this

    Offtopic, but speaking of The Trevor Project, their YouTube channel has a great new series that is well worth watching, IMO: Sharing Space - Episode 1: Daniel Radcliffe Sharing Space - Episode 2:...

    Sharing Space - Episode 1: Daniel Radcliffe

    31 Mar 2023 - We're proud to share the first episode of Sharing Space, moderated by longtime supporter of The Trevor Project Daniel Radcliffe. Sharing Space, a new roundtable series featuring conversations with LGBTQ young people, provides a much-needed platform for young trans and nonbinary voices to share about their personal journeys and explore what genuine allyship looks like among curious, open-minded adults and allies.

    Sharing Space - Episode 2: Nova Bright

    4 Dec 2023 - Following our premiere with Daniel Radcliffe, the second episode of our roundtable series “Sharing Space'' features transgender, intersex, queer, and nonbinary young people who join Nova Bright-Williams, Head of Internal Training, Learning, and Development at Trevor, to talk about their experiences with gender euphoria, stigma, and acceptance.

        YVW. And yeah, it is great, and I'm loving the series so far. It just reinforces my belief that the younger generations are awesome, which gives me so much more hope for the future. :)

    Not really what you're looking for, but from the UK about suicide:

    Office for National Statistics Suicides in England and Wales, 2021 registrations (I don't know why they no longer include Scotland and Northern Ireland)

    And we have the annual NCISH (national confidential inquiry into suicide and self harm) who produce an annual report.

    Eventually PCREF - patient and carer race equality framework will be producing reports.

    Because of "Seni's Law" (Seni Lewis was a Black man who died after being restrained by mental health staff. His mother campaigned for a change to the law.) we're going to get better data about Black people and their mental health experiences: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/61ae3cec8fa8f50382034eea/Government-response-to-consultation-Mental-Health-Units-Use-of-Force-Act-2018-statutory-guidance.pdf

      Nah I love this too! I'd rather this be a useful resource than give me exactly what I'm looking for.

      Thanks for the info, I appreciate all the links! Also Seni Lewis's situation was tragic, I hate how many laws are written in blood, particularly of mentally ill BIPOC folks
