The numbers are alarming — but they’re not the whole story.

✔️ 45% of LGBTQ+ youth seriously considered su***de last year
✔️ 1 in 3 trans youth have attempted su***de
✔️ 60% of LGBTQ+ adults report struggling with mental health

But here's the good news:
💛 Acceptance, affirming spaces and mental health care reduce risk dramatically
💛 Support from just one adult can lower su***de attempts in youth by 40%

🎉 Great News for Missouri! 🎉
Missouri Family Health Council, Inc., our state’s Title X grantee, just received official word that Title X funding for Missouri has been restored! As you may remember, this crucial funding for OACAC Family Planning had been frozen since the start of the program year on April 1, 2025, leaving providers and patients in limbo. The restoration of these funds means vital health services can continue for Missourians who need them most. To schedule an appointment, call (417) 864-3410.

Thank you to MFHC and all the advocates who never stopped pushing forward.
