234: Pride and LGBTQ Mental Health

What is pride? Why is LGBTQ pride important? And what are the links between pride and mental health? 

Whether you identify as LGBTQIA+ or as straight, understanding why pride matters and how pride affects mental health for members of the LGBTQ+ community can help you better connect with yourself and/or the people you care about who identify as anything other than straight.

Pride and LGBT mental health are interwoven, because it’s about learning to accept your identity and celebrating it both individually and collectively, especially with events like pride month, helping to improve LGBTQ mental health by promoting visibility and solidarity.
