Sometimes one's sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or gender expression can directly affect their safety and mental health. Unfortunately, LGBTQ+ people often experience discrimination, rejection, and violence, leading to higher anxiety, depression, suicide, and physical health issues. In addition, LGBTQ+ folks may have difficulty finding health providers who have training or understanding of their experiences. These difficult interactions can mean LGBTQ+ are less likely to seek help when they need it the most.
So, what can you do? Take the time to listen, connect, or share the resources and support below! We also have counselors on staff who are LGBTQ+ and allies! Please reach out to us at 425-640-1358.
