#LGBTQHistoryMonth celebrates 31 trailblazers from the LGBTQ community. As we celebrate these pioneers, we are aware that there’s always more progress to be made. When it comes to mental health, LGBTQ individuals are 2.5x more likely to seek mental health services than their heterosexual peers, and they often face higher risks of discrimination, shame and trauma. These disparities highlight the importance of culturally competent care and community support. Mental Health America offers valuable insights into these mental health disparities and provides resources to help navigate the journey to recovery. https://lnkd.in/evGwVXr

We work with urgency to develop new treatment options for people living with these conditions.
