Sharing resources by: The Trevor Project

Mental health doesn’t exist in a vacuum, especially for LGBTQ+ young people, whose wellbeing is shaped by the environments around them, including experiences of discrimination and lack of access to support. These challenges increase su***de risk, but support can be just as powerful.

Our research shows that even one accepting adult, inclusive language, and spaces where young people feel seen and valued can significantly reduce the risk of su***de for q***r and trans youth.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re sharing 5 ways to support LGBTQ+ youth mental health. Showing up with care and intention can make a life-saving difference. Share this carousel with your community and anyone who may need some inside tips 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

If you or someone you know needs support, reach out to The Trevor Project for free, 24/7, secure care:

Pride in Numbers is collecting real stories from across Oregon so our communities are visible in the data shaping our future and carried across generations.
