Professor Frankis and Dr Marzetti have organised a network lunch in Glasgow on May 30 and in Edinburgh on May 31 for interested parties.
Professor Frankis said: “We need to bring together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, LGTBTQIA+ communities and anyone who has an interest in working together to make positive changes in Scotland.”
Dr Marzetti said: "Working across our multiple communities is critical as we face distinct yet interconnected challenges to our health and wellbeing. We believe these are best solved by taking a community-based approach, combining the strengths of multiple disciplines, which this network will enable."
The two-year project, entitled Developing an Interdisciplinary LGBTQIA+ Mental Health Network for Scotland builds on years of mental health research carried out by Professor Frankis.
