Revitalized LGBT Mental Health Community
We’ve relaunched the LGBT Mental Health Community on the HealthyPlace website. You’ll find over 100 new articles and videos dealing with gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender mental health and related issues that are important to the LGBT community. Not only do we discuss gay mental health in detail, but there’s also plenty of information on where to find gay support, gay support groups and organizations. Other topics include gay bullying, gay suicide, and things you should consider before coming out at work. Plus we have articles that address parents of gay children and some of the issues they face. We invite you to take a look.
Welcome to The Friends & Family Plan. Having a conversation with someone who is conflicted about supporting LGBT equality because of their Christian convictions is difficult. We want to support you. Here, you’ll find the best research, strategies, messages, and resources to help you prepare.

SUICIDE
SAMHSA SUICIDE PREVENTION RESOURCES
Every 15 minutes someone in the U.S. takes his or her own life. And for every one suicide, there are 25 attempts. This public health issue affects everyone: families, healthcare providers, school personnel, faith communities, friends, government, and others. It’s important that everyone know suicide’s warning signs and how to help a person contemplating suicide. This is particularly true for healthcare providers, especially those who work in integrated health settings, which are primed to make a great difference in the lives of people at-risk of suicide.
