For the LGBTQ+ community, social determinants of health play a major role in health outcomes. Lack of family and social support, discrimination, mental health, violence, and healthcare access are common barriers. Members of this community are twice as likely as the general population to have experienced #homelessness in their lifetime. Read my latest blog Activate Care blog to learn ways you can take action. https://hubs.la/Q01Tb_ZD0 #SDOH

Most LGBTQ+ individuals are incredibly resilient and will thrive in the face of adversity, with the help of supportive families, communities, and peers. However, they are also at particular risk for experiencing shame, fear, discrimination, and adverse and traumatic events.

DYK? BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities, and other minority groups (i.e., LGBTQ+ community) often face disproportionate inequities in care, support or mental health services in this country. Everyone deserves access to the services they need when they are in crisis. Learn more at afsp.org and be sure to visit 988lifeline.org for mental health resources. #SuicidePreventionMonth

All demographics face mental health challenges. However, understanding the unique experiences faced by a given community can help us better serve and heal its members. This is particularly true when we talk about the LGBTQ+ community. The journey toward self-acceptance and resilience for LGBTQ+ individuals often starts with confronting societal norms and overcoming internalized stigma. For many, finding affirming spaces and supportive communities can be transformative in their mental health recovery. #BehavioralHealthLink #MentalHealth #LGBTQ #CommunitySupport #LGBTQHealthAwarenessWeek

Let's shed light on the mental health challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community, particularly among bisexual and transgender individuals and younger members. While LGBTQ+ resilience shines bright, it's crucial to acknowledge and address the unique struggles they face.

Hi all, My name is Marlon. I am a Facilitator for SMART Recovery Ireland. Who we are… SMART Recovery is a fresh approach to addiction recovery. SMART stands for Self-Management And Recovery Training. This is way more than an acronym: It is a transformative method of moving addictive substances and negative behaviors to a life of positive self-regard and willingness to change. SMART Recovery 4-Point Program: Building and maintaining motivation Coping with urges Managing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors Living a balanced life In our mutual support meetings, offered online and in-person, participants design and implement their own recovery plan to create a more balanced, purposeful, fulfilling, and meaningful life. SMART provides specialised meetings and resources for a variety of communities, including Family & Friends, LGBTQ+ and more. My LGBTQ+ online meeting takes place on Friday AT 7PM (Irish time). I know it says LGBTQ+ however, everyone is more than welcomed. For more information, visit www.smartrecovery.org or www.smartrecovery.ie To join a meeting: https://lnkd.in/ey9TjjM7 I hope this helps! #smartrecovery #smartrecoveryireland #facilitator #smartfacilitator SMART Recovery International
