Human Rights Campaign 

The Human Rights Campaign details the significant mental health challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community, largely due to stigma, discrimination, and bias. LGBTQ+ individuals experience higher rates of depression and poor mental health compared to non-LGBTQ+ individuals, with gaps in mental health care exacerbating these issues. The HRC provides data on mental health statistics among LGBTQ+ adults and youth, highlighting the need for accessible mental health resources and support. They also offer links to various LGBTQ+-inclusive crisis and suicide prevention hotlines.
