Outline The Mental Health Handbook for LGBTQ+ Affirmative Care Project aims to strengthen mental health support for LGBTQ+ individuals in Hong Kong. This initiative focuses on developing and distributing the LGBTQ+ Affirmative Handbook, a scarce yet essential resource for mental healthcare providers. Tailored to address the unique local challenges faced by diverse LGBTQ+ communities, the handbook will feature a concise literature review, evidence-based strategies, and practical insights from experts in the field to promote inclusive, affirmative care. By equipping providers with critical knowledge and tools, this project seeks to enhance the quality of mental health support and reduce the prevalence of mental health challenges within LGBTQ+ communities.
