Pride…A Rainbow of Colors

Have you ever wondered what the acronym LGBTQIA2S+ stands for?  In honor of PRIDE month, below is a helpful graphic for explaining each of the terms.  The acronym is not all-inclusive, however the + at the end reflects the great diversity that exists within gender identities and sexual orientations.  Like a rainbow, the colors are endless, beautiful and something to be proud of and celebrated!

“48% of youth stated they wanted counseling from a mental health professional but were unable to receive it in the past year.” – The Trevor Project

 If you or someone you know is part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and has been looking for a mental health professional, please reach out to our very own Lindsay MacGeorge, who specializes in working with the amazing children, youth, adults and parents in this community.
