Raising My Rainbow, offers advice for parents seeking to be better allies for their LGBTQ+ children.
The Trevor Project has released an alarming new report about the mental health of LGBTQ+ youth.
According to the 2021 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health, only one in three LGBTQ+ young people (ages 13-24) have an affirming home. And more than 80 percent in this demographic say that the pandemic has added stress to their living situation.
The report underlines that while nearly everyone has dealt with added stress due to COVID-19, LGBTQ+ young people many finding themselves trapped with unsupportive family members are particularly at risk. In the past year, 42 percent have thought about taking their own lives, according to the report, which outlines how youth of color are particularly vulnerable.
