Hi! We’re The Trevor Project, a national organization providing free mental health resources and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ youth 🌈 You can reach out to us by phone, text, chat, or our social networking site TrevorSpace at: thetrevorproject.org/help 📲 #b4stage4chat

A1: LGBTQ folks face discrimination in health care & we do not yet have federal civil rights laws that protect us. Mental health IS health—our emotional well-being is just as important as our physical well-being. We can’t separate the two when talking about health. #B4Stage4Chat

A3: LGBTQ community centers across the country can help folks identify therapists who have track records working with our community & many offer mental health & peer support programs. Take a look at our list of support services for youth. ⤵️ #B4Stage4Chat hrc.org/resources/dire…

Educational Success: a young person’s ability to achieve #academic milestones and be engaged in school on a continuous basis is a key factor in determining longer-term economic self-sufficiency as an adult. #collegeready #careerready bit.ly/2PeipMP #YouthThriveTurns10

Emotional Well-Being: #mentalhealth is essential to overall health and development and affects how young people think, feel, react, and respond to stress. We must bolster protective factors and teach positive social-emotional skills. bit.ly/3s9Megg #YouthThriveTurns10

Physical #health: it is the condition of the body- from the absence of disease to fitness level. It includes substance use prevention, food access and nutrition, physical activity, reproductive health, vaping, violence and more. bit.ly/3cQrRhC #YouthThriveTurns10

Workforce Development: are we creating conditions to teach and train youth for community jobs that will be available in adulthood? We must also consider juvenile justice and opportunity youth (youth 16-24 not in school/working). bit.ly/2QlsFDu #YouthThriveTurns10

To take care of those around you, you need to first take care of yourself. It’s important to protect your mental health and wellbeing every day. Here are five ways to do that with tips from the Mental Health First Aid curriculum.buff.ly/3dvMjEZ

Everyone has a role to play in ending sexual assault, harassment, and abuse. Parents and caregivers can help keep teens and kids safe while they interact and connect with others online. Learn more here: nsvrc.co/SAAMonlinesafe… #SAAMWeCanBuild #SAAM2021

It's tomorrow; it's tomorrow! We're so excited.😀

It's here! Building Mental Wellness: The Role of Individuals, Families, and Communities will kick off at 12pm with a youth panel. We'll have break-out rooms from 1-3pm, and then we'll come back together at 6:30pm for evening conversations and meditation. There's still time!

We've accomplished a lot together in the last 10 years, and although it will look different moving forward, we will continue to work so that all young people in Wake County become thriving adults. For more info, please check out our newsletter: bit.ly/2SsJ2iW
