Pride Month and LGBTQ Resources
Pride Month and LGBTQ Resources
The Trevor Project is a great resource to have access to at all times. The Trevor Project is the largest non-profit organization that specializes in suicide prevention among LGBTQ youth. For ages 25 and below, you can reach out to these trained professionals for free at any given time to comfort you during troubling times. I find it especially important to have their contact information saved due to all the obstacles and challenges being in the way of the LGBTQ community. It is ideal to have mental health support at any given time because of this while also ensuring that your mental state remains healthy even after these critical moments. To reach out to a counselor, you can either call them at the number 1-866-488-7386, or text START to 678-678.

In addition to the suicide hotline, the Trevor Project website has various resources that will aid in your journey. Whether it be through sexual orientation, suicide, gender identity, mental health resources, or community resources, these topics feature exceptional help to those within the community. These are great resources that I encourage everyone to utilize.

PFLAG or Parents Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays is a non-profit LGBTQ organization that fights for an inclusive world. PFLAG is dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for those in the LGBTQ. This organization stands up against violence and discrimination, while also educating people gender identity and expression to feel more knowledgeable about themselves and others. PFLAG also works to build communities that cater around the LGBTQ community, providing safe spaces to express themselves while tearing down unfair social stigmas. They also aid in employment opportunities, healthcare, public services, etc. while also educating law enforcement to reduce harm, rates of confinement, abuse, etc. They also fight for equality and the reduction of censorship, while also building stronger bonds towards religious communities. PFLAG also takes considerable pride in developing family relations, believing it to be the core component of wellbeing for those within the LGBTQ. They do all this so that everyone can live a happy and healthy life regardless of how you identify yourself or your sexual orientations. I encourage everyone to donate to their cause so that their mission continues to be pushed forward for the near future.
