June is pride month, which is a fantastic way to celebrate all of those in the LGBTQIA+ community. We thought it would be important to also raise awareness to the increased risks of mental illness experienced by those who identify at LGBTQIA+, and share a few ways we can help to prevent the risks from becoming anything more than risks.

Look for Signs
Educating yourself and your loved ones on the warning signs of su***de and depression

Open Your Ears
Sometimes we just need to talk it out. From a simple “you okay?” to a more in depth conversation about emotions and how to cope, it’s important to be ready and willing to listen to the individual that is struggling.

Be Open Minded
Oftentimes it’s hard for loved ones to fully understand what certain labels mean. Gender dysphoria, two-spirited and q***r are all terms that not everyone is familiar with- so it’s important to be open to learning about any label that your loved one may or may not put on themselves.

Be Supportive
As tough as it may be to hear that your loved one is going through a hard time, we can assure you it’s even harder on them.

"Imperfections" make us unique, and we think that's pretty great! It's not always easy to love our bodies as they are, but everyone deserves to feel beautiful in their own skin.
