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.
