LGBT Youth

LGBT youth are young people whose sexual orientation or gender identity differs from mainstream societal expectations. This includes individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, among other identities. These youths often face unique challenges, such as discrimination, social exclusion, or family rejection, which can impact their mental health and well-being. Supporting LGBT youth involves fostering acceptance, understanding, and providing access to inclusive resources and affirming environments, helping them to develop confidently and thrive authentically.
