People of every sexual and gender identity deserve to live happy, healthy lives. They should feel confident being themselves, grow up without fear and build families based on love. Yet stigma and unfair treatment of the LGBTQ+ community continues to harm their mental health. Learning more about this community helps build understanding, acceptance and support.
June is Pride Month. Take time to learn about the LGBTQ+ community and how families and society can help protect their mental health — during June and throughout the year. Explore helpful resources at:

By standing up for the LGBTQ+ community, we can help people feel strong and confident as they face the world. One important way to show support is to respect how people describe themselves, including the words and labels they choose to use.
Learning key terms used in the LGBTQ+ community helps us be kind, respectful and understanding. You can explore common terms and their meanings here: resources.lucet.health/toolkit-pride-support/lgbtq-dictionary

As parents, our love and support matter more than anything else in our children’s lives. How we react to our child’s identity can strongly affect their happiness and mental health. Showing acceptance, patience and a willingness to stand up for them can help your LGBTQ+ child grow and succeed, even if it feels new or challenging at first.

If you are in a same‑sex couple, starting a family can feel more challenging because of social pressures. But families come in many forms, and research shows that children raised by same‑sex parents do just as well as those raised by different‑sex parents.
With good communication and planning, building a family can be a rewarding experience. Learn more about family‑building options and how to prepare here: resources.lucet.health/toolkit-pride-support/preparing-for-parenting-and-family-dynamics-as-same-sex-couple
