It's Pride Month and we're so PROUD to announce the grand opening of Prism Community Collective, a new resource center in Colorado Springs serving those impacted by the Club Q tragedy, including the larger LGBTQ+ community! As the lead agency, CHP worked alongside partners, survivors, victims’ families, and community members for over a year to create a space where our LGBTQ+ community can find the supports, services, and resources they need to live celebrated and liberated lives. We hope you'll join us this Wednesday to help us celebrate! #prismcos

How can we support the health and wellbeing of LGBTQ+ youth? According to Jasper Liem, LCSW, Executive Director of Attic Youth Center, we can start by recognizing young people as whole humans who deserve to not only be included, but to lead youth-geared programs, services, and solutions! What would the future of LGBTQ+ health hold if we dismantled power dynamics and trusted the expertise of our youth?

June is Pride Month! 🏳️🌈 For the month of June, we'll have some weekly LGBTQ+ Housing facts for you. The LGBTQ+ community tends to be significantly younger than the non-LGBTQ+ population. Specifically, 52% of individuals identifying as LGBTQ+ are under 35 years old, while only 23% of those identifying as straight and cisgender fall into the same age group. These age disparities account for roughly half of the difference in homeownership rates between LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ individuals, as younger people are generally less likely to own homes compared to older individuals.

Healthcare Innovator | LGBTQ+ Advocate | Policy Strategist | Committed to Advancing Health Equity Solutions
A year ago we started our series called "Connecting Conversations." Our goal is to bring together great minds from different sectors, all trying to tackle the same problem. So, in this first one, we brought together leaders from the nonprofit, academic, and start-up sectors who are experts in Culturally Competent Care for LGBTQ+ Communities. A highly engaging, unscripted, real conversation was had with Kellan E. Baker, Gaurang Choksi, and David (Hyunmin) Yu. Follow the link for full video and great clips!

According to The Trevor Project, LGBTQ+ youth are at risk because of a lack of acceptance, understanding, empathy, and compassion. That lack comes at a great cost: a national survey conducted in 2023 found 41% of LGBTQ+ youth have seriously considered suicide in the last year. LifeWorks NW is proud to participate in Zero Suicide, a nationwide initiative to bring together care providers and communities to end suicide. One tool our communities can use: 988. Call or text to connect with a trained counselor and local services, including specialists in youth or LGTBQ+ care. Learn more about 988 in Oregon: https://lnkd.in/gk66STdM #wellbeingforall #trevorproject
