Addressing mental health disparities in the LGBTQ+ community requires an intersectional approach. We need inclusive settings, educated healthcare providers, and increased access to affirming services. Learn more about these initiatives, like the NYS OASAS Part 830 LGBTQ-Affirming Program Endorsement Standards and Guidance, which sets new standards for inclusive care.

October is LGBTQ+ History Month—a perfect time to bring attention to health equity and its importance. For far too long, the LGBTQ+ community has faced barriers to accessing quality healthcare, which can lead to disparities in chronic disease outcomes. As someone deeply committed to prevention and advocacy, I believe that true progress requires us to address these gaps head-on. This progress starts with creating inclusive health strategies that meet the unique needs of LGBTQ+ individuals. It's also important to note that health equity is about more than access—it’s about trust, respect, and cultural competency in care. For example, it's important that we respect trans peoples' pronouns and identities when providing them with healthcare, as negative experiences with healthcare professionals can deter patients from seeking help or receiving the appropriate care. This month, let's recommit to making sure all people, regardless of identity, have access to the tools and resources they need for a healthy future. #LGBTQHistoryMonth #Healthcare #HealthEquity

LGBTQ+ employees can face unique challenges affecting their health and well-being that can impact their workplace performance. Employers can offer support through benefits driving equity and connecting them to the care they need when they need it most. Learn more in this article. An innovative care solution like Anthem ’s Inclusive Care for LGBTQIA+ members connects people to support tailored to their unique challenges and concerns. As part of this program, health guides receive special clinical training in LGBTQIA+ concerns and can recommend medical providers and behavioral health professionals who specialize in working with this community. #lgbtq #healthequity #employeebenefits https://ow.ly/QMWj30sEkkK

New research indicates that LGBTQ+ people involved in farming are over three times more likely to experience depression and suicidal intent and about two and a half times more likely to experience anxiety compared to the general population. While studies estimate at least 23,000 LGBTQ+ people are involved in farming in the U.S., the actual number is likely higher. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988.

In 2022, 24% of LGBTQ+ adults in America reported mistreatment or blame for their health problems from their care provider. Discrimination in healthcare only piles on to the emotional and physical stressors already felt by many in the LGBTQ+ community. That's why comprehensive health coverage with a wide range of services and access to care can provide the support your employees need. You can advance the well-being of your workplace community by offering personalized, inclusive whole-health care. Health education initiatives, an Employee Assistance Program for access to counseling and mental well-being, and established partnerships with healthcare providers are a few ways to promote the whole health of your employees. Learn more about how you can provide an inclusive, supportive workplace: https://ow.ly/CNLF50S7Nk9 #PrideMonth #DEI #LGBTQ+Health

Being more open about sharing and discussing different aspects of mental health I think is so important.
