For bisexual men, does a sense of belonging to the LGBTQIA+ community help with mental health
This project is dedicated to amplifying the voices of bisexual men, whose experiences are often overlooked or misunderstood.
By exploring belonging, stigma, and mental health, the study aims to highlight the realities bisexual men navigate that can inform research, policy and community support.
The mission is to create knowledge that strengthens visibility, understanding, and care.
Bisexual people's experiences are often amalgamated into broader LGBTQ research, failing to identity your unique experiences. This is a growing population and men in particular are underrepresented in the research.
Guys, we need to hear from you!
The study forms a broader LGBTQIA+ study and everyone is invited to participate.
However, this particular research is focused on bisexual mens' experiences of stigma, belonging and suicide. Questions will also be asked about how kind you are to yourself, sleep and depression symptoms
