The findings, supported by [Women](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/women-in-hvacr) and Gender [Equality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivela) Canada, reveal significant disparities in mental health outcomes and access to support services. According to the Canada-wide study, "86% of 2ELGBTQIA+ individuals reported experiencing at least one mental health issue in the past year, compared to 64% of non-2ELGBTQIA+ individuals—additionally, only 33% of 2ELGBTQIA+ respondents described their mental health as excellent or good, while 28% rated it as poor or very poor." These figures that are notably worse than those of their non-2ELGBTQIA+ counterparts. The study also highlights dissatisfaction with available support, with "28% of 2ELGBTQIA+ respondents expressing discontent with the assistance they received."
