Episode 52 - Kollyn Conrad and Publicly Private - a resource for LGBTQ+ youth
from The SocialDad Podcast · host James R.C. Smith
According to The Trevor Project’s 2022 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health, 45% of LGBTQ youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year, and LGBTQ youth who felt high social support from their family reported attempting suicide at less than half the rate of those who felt low or moderate social support, proving that educational resources and support do make a difference. “Research shows that LGBQ+ youth suffer more than heterosexual youth from depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns,” said Conrad. “This correlates directly to a high suicide rate. Resources for LGBTQ+ must be vigilant and accessible in order to foster well-being.” Find Kollyn and Publicly Private here: https://www.publiclyprivate.org/ https://www.instagram.com/pblclyprvt/
