LGBTQ+ Youth Suicide Prevention

LGBTQ+ youth suicide prevention involves efforts to reduce risks and promote well-being among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexual/gender minority young people. It includes providing supportive environments, affirming identities, access to mental health services, and education to combat stigma and discrimination. These initiatives aim to address unique challenges LGBTQ+ youth face, such as rejection, bullying, and mental health struggles, ultimately fostering resilience and safety. Effective prevention requires understanding their experiences, promoting acceptance, and ensuring resources are accessible to help these young individuals thrive.
