Mental Health Resources in the LGBTQ+ Community
We know these times perceive heavy. The rise in attacks on the Homosexual community and the impairment of the dedicated lifeline for LGBTQ+ youth can feel like yet another blow to our group, but even when resources shift, you are never alone.
Please dial if you need immediate support.
There are still support systems out there, ready to heed, uplift, and help you protect your mental health. If you're struggling, please reach out for aid and never forget that you are loved, you are seen, and your mental well-being matters.
