Mental health issues concerning LGBT youth are certainly one of the biggest issues I’m concerned within Australia today.

This is why I have signed up as an ambassador and mentor for a new charity organisation called StartOut, which aims to build resilience and self-acceptance in young DSG (diverse sexuality and gender) people by breaking the preventable and far too common cycle of a negative self-image, anxiety, and depression.

By creating a vibrant online community, it will be a place where young people can learn, share and interact with others and stories promoting positive mental health strategies so that they have support.
