Back to the Basics: Mental Health in the LGBTQIA+ Community

Описание: Welcome Back to the Basics! In honor of Pride Month, we're talking with a queer therapist about the mental health experiences of those in the LGBTQIA+ community. We know that celebrating pride is an act of suicide prevention advocacy, and we hope you know how glad we are that you're here.

Back to the Basics is a casual, judgment-free zone for honest conversations, and many of the experiences in this video are personal in nature. We ask for kindness and respect from all viewers.
