LGBTQ refugees and asylum seekers are facing myriad mental health challenges from the stresses of the migration experience, according to a report released last month. As the Bay Area Reporter previously reported, #Out4MentalHealth, a project overseen by the California LGBTQ Health and Human Services Network and NorCal Mental Health America, released "Surveying the Road to Equity: The Annual State of LGBTQ Communities, 2019" in November. The report is the result of a survey of 2,875 LGBTQ Californians, and includes within it 24 pages detailing the challenges faced by refugees and asylum seekers, specifically. Poshi Walker, a queer and nonbinary person who is a project co-director with the mental health advocacy group CalVoices, told the B.A.R. that #Out4MentalHealth held a town hall in 2019 with advocates and providers to inform the writing of the section of the report dealing with refugees and asylum seekers.
