#ShowThemYouCARE #SuicidePrevention - September is National Suicide Prevention Month

According to The Trevor Project’s research, 40% of LGBTQ youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past 12 months, with more than half of Trans and Nonbinary youth having seriously considered it.

Check out this video from The Trevor Project, explaining how to Prevent Suicide with CARE: which stands for Connect, Ask, Respond, and Empower



As Patricia says in the video,
"Acceptance from at least one adult can decrease the risk of LGBTQ youth suicide by 40%."

Stay safe, 

know that the world needs your light,

and that the light in me recognizes and acknowledges the light in you.
