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!

Rural Health + Reproductive Justice | Strategic + Creative Communications, Marketing, Social Media and Content Creation
“As the studies and surveys cited here demonstrate, #LGBTQ+ people living in #rural communities encounter the same mental healthcare challenges as other rural Americans, but the disparities in accessing resources and appropriate treatment can be even more difficult because of existing prejudices and discrimination. It’s a call to action for rural communities to come together to increase awareness and dispel the stigma experienced by LGBTQ+ individuals. Some ways communities can help to tackle the disparities include: In rural #healthcare – Educate the workforce, put in place inclusive systems of care, and implement policies that address discrimination. In rural schools – Implement practices and policies to support #LGBTQyouth. In local and state governments – Propose and support laws and public policies that enforce protections against discrimination of LGBTQ+ people.” #RuralHealth
