For LGBTQ+

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ+) population has increased risk factors for suicidal thinking and behavior, including: social stigma; conflict with others regarding sexuality and/or gender identity and expression; increased bullying, abuse, and violence; being kicked out of the family and/or religious institution; and homelessness, to name a few. 

A variety of LGBTQ+ specific help is available below, as well as ways for the LGBTQ+ community to get involved. The LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland ("The Center"), PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), and TransFamily are a few of the many local organizations that support LGBTQ+ folks and allies with healthy educational, social, and personal growth opportunities.
