      Mental Health Resources in the LGBTQ+ Community

      We know these times touch heavy. The rise in attacks on the Queer community and the decrease of the dedicated lifeline for LGBTQ+ youth can feel like yet another blow to our people, but even when resources shift, you are never alone. 

      Please dial if you need immediate support. 

      There are still support systems out there, ready to attend, uplift, and help you protect your mental health. If you're struggling, please reach out for support and never forget that you are loved, you are seen, and your mental well-being matters. 

      Even without LGBTQ+-specific support on the lifeline, help is still out there. You don't have to navigate your mental health alone; there are resources available that can offer guidance, concern, and connection. If you're struggling or simply demand someone to talk to, see below for a list of available hotlines, warmlines, and crisis lines, many of which are staffed by people specifically trained to work with the Gay community.
