NAMI Sonoma County

Recent research indicates that members of the LGBTQ+ community are at a higher risk for experiencing mental health conditions, due to challenges unique to this community: lack of acceptance from families, denial of civil and human rights, and cultural conditions are a few things that can negatively impact mental health conditions.
Finding and creating communities of support are important for everyone. For the LGBTQ+ communities, support systems that foster intersectionality with acceptance and shared lived experiences are absolutely critical. Here are a few resources to help you or your loved ones continue that journey towards self-love and supportive communities.
As hashtag comes to an end, please share so those in need can learn of these resources

When you are your true, authentic self, the world is a brighter place. 🌎🌟
