Young people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer (LGBTQ) experience higher levels of suicidality compared to heterosexual or cisgender peers, and face significant barriers accessing mental health services including prejudice from staff. In a cross-sectional survey, mental health staff who reported receiving LGBT awareness training were significantly more likely to report in relation to working with LGBT youth that they routinely discussed issues of sexuality and gender (χ=8.782, df=2, p < 0.05); to feel that their organisation supported them to work with this group (χ=14.401, df=2, p < 0.001); and report that they had access to adequate skills training that supported their work with suicidality and self-harm with this group (χ=21.911, df=2, p <0.001). There is a need to enhance the mental health workforce in LGBTQ awareness, and these findings indicate that awareness training could impact positively on practice.
与异性恋或顺性别同龄人相比，认同自己为女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别或酷儿（LGBTQ）的年轻人有更高的自杀倾向，并且在获得心理健康服务方面面临重大障碍，包括来自工作人员的偏见。在一项横断面调查中，报告接受过LGBT意识培训的心理健康工作人员更有可能报告，在与LGBT青少年合作时，他们经常讨论性取向和性别的问题（χ=8.782，自由度=2，p<0.05）；感觉他们的组织支持他们与这个群体合作（χ=14.401，自由度=2，p<0.001）；并报告他们获得了足够的技能培训，以支持他们处理这个群体的自杀倾向和自我伤害问题（χ=21.911，自由度=2，p<0.001）。有必要提高心理健康工作人员对LGBTQ的认识，这些发现表明，意识培训可能会对实践产生积极影响。
