LGBTQ Resources
Why did we add this page?
WYFCS is a strong believer in equity and care for EVERYONE, regardless of circumstance, religion, race, or creed. In the 2024 US National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ+ Young People, 39% of queer youth have seriously considered suicide in the last year and that number rises to 46% among transgender and nonbinary young people. We see the impacts of fear and anti-LGBTQ bias in our own clients, and wanted to extend even more support here.
