We wish to work with supporting the LGBTQ+ community. Issues like suicide, discrimination, and suicidality are some of the biggest problems this community faces; according to the CDC (2014), suicide alone is the tenth cause of death in the USA. Mental health is the common denominator among these issues; it’s a well-known fact that this community encounters more barriers due to the lack of rights and vulnerability they represent in a socio-political environment.

There are no laws or policies to abide by that protect the members or mental health issues they have. Studies have shown that LGTBQ people are more likely to develop different disparities in their health because of harassment, mistreatment, homophobia, and self-stigmas. (Fish,2020, Meyer,2003). We want to support the Community by addressing these issues, making tools that are easier to reach for them, and continuing education so we can decrease the stigma and rejection towards them. Through our mentorship program we introduce the community to a new way of healing.
