In response to these identified community needs we have begun a review of our organisation and practice to ensure we are more LGBTI inclusive. Elevate are working closely with LGBTI organisations and staff members to ensure that the services we provide are LGBTI informed.

Research suggests that LGBTI people are more likely to drink alcohol, and more likely to drink excessively, than the general population. Despite limited academic work undertaken on alcohol in the LGBTI community in Scotland, work that has been done has shown that alcohol plays a major role in the social and sexual lives of LGBTI people, and was implicated in violence and impaired decision making around sexual risk taking. #KinderStrongerBetter
