Actively work to check in on your LGBTQ friends, family members or colleagues. Make time to connect with them virtually to remind them that you are an ally and consider promoting helpful resources on your social media pages. - AA
The best thing you can do to better support LGBTQ youth is listen, become more educated on issues and take action. Make sure you check in on your LGBTQ peers! This pandemic can be hard for some of us to maneuver through and checking up on people can really go a long way. - NC
We want to thank our partners at @HRC for hosting this forum with us, and we hope that these themes of affirmation, supportive community, and available resources extend far beyond this chat.

COVID is unique in its capacity to facilitate isolation, particularly among LGBTQ+ youth who might be cut off from normal avenues of support. Reaching out and being there for someone has never been more important or more impactful.

There are wonderful programs like the @TrevorProject that LGBTQ people should know about. Our struggles as LGBTQ youth are unique and many don’t always have the knowledge, training or resources to provide adequate mental health support. - AA
Know that there is a family of loving friends and allies out there fighting for your rights and ready to love you unconditionally. If you're struggling, consider connecting with groups such as @TrevorProject or other online communities. - NC
The definitions of gender and sex vary widely depending on culture, region and time period. Self-expression is not linear and you don’t have to know exactly who you are right now. Play around with names, pronouns, clothing and hairstyles to find your authentic self. - AA
Love and acceptance is what the LGBTQ community is about and I love my fellow LGBTQ folks like family. Keep persisting even when you feel like the world is against you, practice resilience and ask for help when you need it! - NC
Some great recommendations for LGBTQ youth outreach and support are @HRC, @TrevorProject, @glaad, @GLSEN and @PFLAG. - NC
To be an LGBTQ ally, you must LISTEN. Refrain from receiving information through a biased perspective, do your research on the issues that LGBTQ people face every day and learn about what actions you can take that would make a positive difference. - NC
The internet is a wonderful place. A quick Google search will generate hundreds of articles, blog posts and videos made by organizations and individuals to help educate and guide new allies. - AA
Listening and truly trying to understand someone else’s perspective is so important and makes such a big difference. @TrevorProject has a wonderful guide on how to become an LGBTQ+ ally. thetrevorproject.org/resources/trev…

Couldn’t be more in agreement with the HRC Youth Ambassadors. And given that we are in the middle of Pride Month, there’s no better time to connect with these organizations, to seek or provide support to others, and to get involved.

Negative reactions towards one’s LGBTQ+ identity can lead to emotional distress and cause mental health concerns. It’s important to us to support youth in their journey and to balance out the invalidation that LGBTQ+ youth can experience.

You don’t have to struggle alone. At the Child Mind Institute, we know that LGBTQ+ youth benefit most from working with clinicians with experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals and who are committed to affirming/supporting LGBTQ+ people.
