Resources for queer youth
Dear 2SLGBTQIA+ Youth,
Firstly, you are loved. Especially by me.
I am here for you as I can be. I cannot promise how much help I can provide, but I offer to guide you to someone or someplace that can hopefully support you in the way need.
Please use this page as a resource for your learning and support.
I am not associated with any organizations listed below and cannot fully speak to everything they provide. I have experience learning from them all and have used them as resources in the past.
Be curious, be discerning, and listen to your gut.
