Finding Support in the LGBTQI+ Community
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) people often experience higher rates of health challenges related to mental health, drug, or alcohol issues. These increased rates of mental health and substance use difficulties aren’t caused by their identities, but are related to increased stress from discrimination, bullying, violence, and rejection which LGBTQI+ individuals face more frequently.
