Did you know that 48% of LGBTQ+ youth reported engaging in self-harm in the last 12 months, according to a recent Trevor Project mental health survey? LGBTQ+ youth are under a lot of pressure. In addition to the regular stressors of being a teen, LGBTQ+ youth may also face bullying, rejection from family members, poorer health outcomes, and homelessness.
Tune in Friday night to find out how we can all work together to create a safer, more welcoming future for them.
Join Cole Foust, LGBTQ+ Division Manager of Metro Inclusive Health, as he facilitates a discussion on LGBTQ+ Youth Mental Health with Toli Gintoli, a METRO behavioral health therapist, Ren Joseph, an LGBTQ+ advocate & musician, and Lourdes Hernandez-Gonzalez, Coordinator for the Office of Diversity and Inclusion with Hillsborough County Public Schools.
