 It is for: Anyone who works with 12-24 year olds in Community, Government or Human Services in Queensland.

 As part of the state government funded LGBT Youth Sector Capacity Building Project, Open Doors Youth Service (based in Brisbane (http://www.opendoors.net.au/?page_id=852)) is investigating how we can make it easier for services and individuals to work well with LGBTIQ young people. To ensure that we get a useable sample of youth-related Community, Government and Human Services workers from around Queensland, we would very much appreciate it if you could assist us by filling it in yourself, then forwarding this e-mail to your networks and/or posting the link to your website.

  •  The survey will take people about 15 minutes.
  • People who complete the survey go into the draw to win an iPod shuffle.
  • All answers are anonymous, and there really are no right answers.

 The link is here:   www.surveymonkey.com/s/Over_the_Rainbow

 This project could really help to improve outcomes for LGBTIQ young people, who are one of the most vulnerable groups of young people in Australia.

 If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Alex Mercer on research@opendoors.net.au
