We know that our community is built on resilience and strength, but this doesn't mean there aren't real and lasting impacts. It's OK to ask for help! 39% of LGBTQ+ elders have experienced suicidal ideation during their lifetime, and 31% of LGBTQ+ elders have symptoms of depression. This is two to three times higher than the general older adult population in the Unites States. But we don't have to be another statistic. We can help each other. Remember, you are not alone! SAGE collaborates with HearMe, a free, 24/7 on-demand mental wellness app that allows you to text one-on-one with trained empathetic listeners to get things off your chest, feel seen, heard, and validated. ❤ #NationalSuicidePreventionMonth #WeRefusetoBeInvisible #LGBTQMentalHealth #LGBTQ
