🌈 Celebrating Pride with Purpose at Ellie Mental Health 🌈 This Pride Month, Ellie Mental Health goes beyond the rainbow graphics and swag giveaway to make a lasting impact. They are not just celebrating but also advocating for change. Did you know that 60% of LBTQ+ youth who wanted mental health care in the past year could not get it? Or do nearly half of the LBTQ+ youth consider suicide? These statistics are not just numbers; they are a call to action. As one of the nation's leading mental health companies, Ellie believes they are responsible for positively impacting these statistics. That's why, for Pride Month, they are educating clinicians and communities about the importance of providing ethical care to the LBGTQ+ community. They are raising awareness about the gaps in care and working towards accessible mental health care for all members of the LGBTQ+ community. Join Ellie in celebrating Pride with purpose. Let's all make a difference together. https://lnkd.in/gBvwhAZQ #PrideMonth #LGBTQ+ #MentalHealthAwareness #EllieMentalHealth #Pride2024

Today, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) published guidance to states and communities on using federal funding to support mental health services for #LGBTQI+ youth. LGBTQI+ youth face a nationwide #mentalhealth crisis, and almost half of LGBTQI+ kids say they seriously considered attempting #suicide in the past year. This guidance outlines how states and communities can use SAMHSA funding to support mental health services for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex (LGBTQI+), and other gender diverse youth. https://lnkd.in/dMzhYfpj

Happy to share the publication of the book "Social Media and Youth Mental Health" 📚 , featuring a chapter I co-authored with Linda Charmaraman and Faith Arimoro. Our chapter, "Sexuality and Media: Exploration and Exploitation," delves into the complex relationship between media and youth sexuality 📱 In this chapter, we highlight the significant role of digital media in facilitating the challenging process of youth sexual development. We explore the impact of youth's sexual digital media activities, including relationship dynamics online, [non-]consensual sexting, and pornography use. Additionally, we focus on the internet's role for LGBTQ+ youth, emphasizing the support it provides. https://lnkd.in/eATjuXeR
