Hey John,
LGBTQ+ young people are finding new ways to take care of their mental health, and It Gets Better is here to help. imi (that's eye-me) is a free, digital resource—created by our friends at Hopelab in collaboration with It Gets Better and CenterLink—supports LGBTQ+ youth in navigating stress, exploring their identities, and building resilience, all on their own terms.
With more LGBTQ+ young people than ever seeking mental health support, imi offers an accessible, affirming space designed specifically for them. And now, It Gets Better has taken over the management and maintenance of imi, reinforcing our commitment to uplifting, empowering, and connecting LGBTQ+ youth worldwide.
Every time you support It Gets Better, you’re directly investing in the mental well-being of queer youth. Your donations ensure that resources like imi remain free, accessible, and continue evolving to meet the needs of the next generation. Because when LGBTQ+ youth have the tools and support they need, they don’t just survive—they thrive. And in today’s climate, making sure queer youth feel seen and supported is more important than ever.
🎨 Queer Chameleon – We collaborated with artist Amee Wilson on Dear Queer Chameleon for National Coming Out Day, but this playful, affirming video about navigating pronouns and identity in your own time is relevant year-round. We’d love to make more of episodes in this series, so if you like what you see, consider supporting our work.
📖 Glossary – Inclusive language is ever-evolving, and respect starts with understanding. With public figures and policymakers dismissing trans and gender-nonconforming people, using the right terms is a simple but powerful way to show support. Brush up on LGBTQ+ terminology with our robust glossary.
🃏 Perfectly Queer: The Game – We have just a few copies left! This card game is designed to spark conversations and help families and allies better support LGBTQ+ youth. It’s also a great way to learn more about yourself in the process. Grab one before they’re gone.
Stay loud and proud, and thanks for your continued support of LGBTQ+ youth. Chat with you asoon.
