This Pride Month, Warren Township Youth & Family Services recognizes the importance of LGBTQ+ mental health and the value of feeling seen, supported, and accepted. Everyone deserves a safe space to be themselves and access to mental health support. ππ
Did you know that LGBTQ+ adults are more than twice as likely as heterosexual adults to experience a mental health condition and transgender individuals are nearly four times as likely as cisgender individuals to experience a mental health condition? LGBTQ+ youth are more than twice as likely to report experiencing persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness than their heterosexual peers. Transgender youth face further disparities as they are twice as likely to experience depressive symptoms, seriously consider su***de, and attempt su***de compared to cisgender LGBTQ+ youth. (NAMI)
