LGBT Ireland and University College Dublin are currently carrying out the EQUICARES project in Ireland. EQUICARES is a European research project looking at barriers people face when trying to access mental health services. The goal is to make these services more inclusive, respectful, and effective for everyone. LGBT Ireland and UCD are specifically interested in experiences of LGBTQI+ people, but the survey is open to everyone living in Ireland.

Who can participate?
You must be:

• 18 or older
• Live in Ireland
• Have tried to access mental health services at some point in your life

All data will be anonymised and treated confidentially. The collected data will be published as a report in 2026 and shared back to the community. If you are interested in participating, please use the link above.

For more information, contact Dr Mira Fey, Research Lead, LGBT Ireland, mira@lgbt.ie or visit the website www.lgbt.ie/equicares.

The study has received ethical approval from the UCD Office of Research Ethics.
