ππ It's important to shine a light on the challenges faced by our LGBTQIA+ youth. Studies show that substance use and misuse rates are significantly higher in this community compared to their peers. Factors such as discrimination, stigma, and mental health struggles can contribute to these alarming statistics.
Letβs come together to support our LGBTQIA+ youth by fostering safe spaces, promoting open conversations, and providing access to resources. We must advocate for understanding, acceptance, and the mental health support they deserve. Together, we can help break the cycle and create a healthier, more inclusive future for everyone. πβ¨
