How Be/Here Creates Change
Be/Here is about care, community and change.
We are here because LGBTQIA+ people deserve mental health support that understands us properly — not as an add-on, not as a tick-box, and not as something squeezed into a mainstream model that was never really built with us in mind.
​
Our work brings together therapy, free workshops, community spaces and partnership work so LGBTQIA+ people can access support earlier, feel less alone and build practical tools for wellbeing before reaching crisis.
How Change Happens
The Be/Here Pathway
When LGBTQIA+ people can access support that is queer-led, specialist, flexible, ethical and community-rooted, they are more likely to seek help earlier.
​
When people seek help earlier, they are more likely to feel safer, less isolated and more able to build tools for their wellbeing.
​
When people feel safer and more connected, communities become stronger.
And when LGBTQIA+ voices are included in service design, policy and commissioning, the wider system starts to change too.
That is the change Be/Here is working towards.
Every Paid Session Supports Wider Access
Your Therapy helps keep support accessible
Be/Here is a social enterprise. This means the income we receive from paying clients helps us fund free mental health skills workshops for LGBTQIA+ people.
​
As we grow, our aim is to create enough sustainable income to offer more subsidised therapy for people living below the cost-of-living threshold.
When you pay for therapy, training or consultancy through Be/Here, you are not only investing in support for yourself or your organisation. You are helping us build a wider model of LGBTQIA+ care.
Our Vision
Our vision is a world where LGBTQIA+ people can access ethical, specialist mental health care without fear, barriers or compromise.
​
We want fewer people reaching crisis because the right support was unavailable, inaccessible or unsafe.
​
We want people to feel understood earlier.
​
We want the community to be part of care.
​
And we want LGBTQIA+ voices shaping the future of mental health support, not being added as an afterthought.
