International Non-Binary Day celebrates non-binary people and works to raise awareness about gender diversity. This movement aims to bridge the gap between non-binary individuals and the understanding and acceptance they deserve. It’s not just about highlighting the issues but also about calling on communities, professionals, and institutions to offer support and ensure non-binary individuals feel seen and respected. Research, studies, and individual testimonies tell us that non-binary people struggle with mental health challenges at higher rates and here at Evolve, we are dedicated to providing supportive and gender inclusive care.  Society has come a long way in understanding of gender differences and we still have a long way to go. International Non-Binary Day helps bring understanding of those who don't fit into traditional gender categories. It is a day to bring awareness around the struggles they face in order to create more supportive and safe spaces in our communities. Join us in celebrating International Non-Binary Day by spreading love, acceptance, and awareness. Together, we can make a difference. #nonbinary #mentalhealthtips #mentalhealthsupport
