As we continue our recognition of BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month, we are excited to share an essential resource that addresses the unique challenges faced by BIPOC LGBTQ+ young people. Intersectional conversations can be challenging,  but they are vital to understanding and supporting the diverse experiences within our community.

Empowering Intersectional Conversations

Navigating conversations that encompass multiple facets of identity—race, sexual orientation, gender identity—requires sensitivity, empathy, and a commitment to learning. Our comprehensive guide, “Approaching Intersectional Conversations,” provides valuable insights and practical advice for fostering these important discussions.

Why This Matters

BIPOC LGBTQ+ young people often face compounded mental health challenges due to their intersecting identities. By approaching conversations with an intersectional perspective, we can better understand their unique needs and provide more effective support. This guide is an essential tool for anyone committed to making a difference in the lives of BIPOC LGBTQ+ youth.

Let's use this opportunity to deepen our understanding and enhance our support for BIPOC LGBTQ+ young people. Read the full guide here, and consider sharing it with your network to spread awareness and continue fostering more inclusive environments this BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month and beyond!

Support from individuals like you enables The Trevor Project to continue our work to end LGBTQ+ youth suicide through our crisis services as well as the development of resources and guides like these to promote education and allyship.
