National Coming Out Day is a powerful reminder that living openly and authentically can change lives – not only for LGBTQ+ people themselves, but also for everyone inspired by their courage. At The Trevor Project, we know that coming out can have a profound impact on mental health, whether it brings relief and joy, or new challenges and questions.

Legislative Victories, Challenges, and the Path Forward for LGBTQ+ Youth Mental Health

As the majority of the state legislatures adjourn for the summer, we’re able to reflect on the recent legal changes that impact how LGBTQ+ young people navigate their schools, medical care, communities, and even their own identities.
