OutTalk Series: Advancing LGBTQ+ Mental Health Awareness
Join us in this eye-opening episode of OutTalk as we delve into the critical issues of mental health in LGBTQ+ communities. Did you know that LGBTQ+ individuals are more than twice as likely to experience mental health conditions compared to their non-LGBTQ+ peers? Shockingly, LGBTQ+ youth are four times more likely to attempt suicide. These concerning disparities are due to a variety of factors, including discrimination and lack of social support. In this episode, we have a diverse panel who will share their experiences and perspectives on mental health. Whether you're struggling with a diagnosed condition or simply trying to navigate the complexities of life, our panelists will provide valuable tips and resources to help you embrace your best self. Don't miss this empowering conversation on mental health and well-being!
