Discrimination and bullying

What is discrimination?

Discrimination is when a person is treated differently (not in a good way) because of an aspect of their identity or a characteristic. Some types of discrimination are obvious and others are not, but they can all still affect your wellbeing or mental health.

Experiences of homophobic and transphobic discrimination (being treated unfairly) and bullying can impact on your wellbeing and can have an increased negative impact on your physical and mental health.
