Date and Time: Friday, December 5 from 12:00pm - 1:00pm EST Mental Health and the LGBTQ+ Community Register HERE. Mental health challenges impact people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. But research suggests that members of the LGBTQ+ community face these challenges at higher rates than heterosexual and cisgender individuals.

Why? The experts point to stigma and discrimination as likely contributing factors, while also noting that many face additional barriers to treatment.

So how can LGBTQ+ people best manage their mental well-being? And where can they turn for help? What about parents, educators, and treatment providers? What should they know about their potential to make a difference?

Jeff Day, DNP, AGPCNP-BC, breaks down the most prevalent mental health challenges facing those who identify as LGBTQ+, shares tips for supporting someone in this community, and discusses the groundbreaking work he’s doing to help prepare nursing students to meet the needs of LGBTQ+ individuals.
