Access the guide and care for bi youth

Happy #BiWeek, Friend!

Today marks the start of Bisexual Awareness Week, a seven-day celebration of what it means to experience attraction to people of more than one gender. To support young people with multisexual identities, Trevor has published our first-ever guide on How To Support Bisexual Youth: Ways to Care for Young People Who Are Attracted to More Than One Gender ([link removed]) .

The handbook is an educational resource that covers a wide range of topics and best practices for supporting bisexual youth, including: bisexuality, pansexuality, and other multisexual identities; romantic orientations; preventing bisexual erasure and biphobia; navigating gender and bisexuality; exploring different relationship types; and self-care tips.

Last year, nearly 50% of the youth who reached out to Trevor’s crisis services experienced multi-gender attraction. And while bisexual people make up the largest portion of the LGBTQ community, bi youth are often erased and their specific needs overlooked. Our research shows that bi youth are at higher risk than their peers for sexual assault and bullying, and almost half of bi youth seriously considered suicide in the past year.

We hope this resource will help people challenge biphobic assumptions in their everyday lives and foster the creation of safer, more affirming communities for bisexual youth everywhere.
