IGLYO on... MENTAL HEALTH
n.1 - March / 2007
Hello and Welcome!
We at IGLYO are proud to present our first release of the new periodical magazine, a project that was born out of the need to develop an in-depth understanding of the current array of issues affecting LGBT youth.
We choose to tackle mental health as the first issue to further build upon IGLYO most recent Annual Conference 'Beyond coming out' which took place in Riga (Latvia) in december 2006.
You will find in this publication many looks to the issues of mental health affecting youth: a practitioner and an ecucational advisor will share their thoughts; then IGLYO will have a say in light of the main outcomes of our Conference. To then finally looking at two member organisations that are currently focusing a lot of their work around Mental Health, these organisations are in fact LGBT Youth in Scotland and GenderDoc-M in Moldova.
We at IGLYO hope that this publication and the following ones would be beneficial and of interest to a wide range of audience, starting from our member organisations to those interested in LGBT Youth specific issues.
We welcome your feedbacks and we wish you a happy reading...
the IGLYO Board
