QTBIPOC Mental Health and Well Being

Over a majority of LGBTQ+ adults of color in the United States are facing significant mental health challenges today. LGBTQ+ high schoolers of color are also more likely to attempt suicide (27%) compared to LGBTQ+ high schoolers (22%) and non-LGBTQ+ high schoolers (5%) in the United States. 
  

While LGBTQ+ adults of color experience similar rates of mental health challenges as LGBTQ+ adults generally, they receive unequal rates of diagnoses. A rate of 29% of LGBTQ+ adults of color say they have been diagnosed with a depressive order from a provider, compared to 39% of the LGBTQ+ adults broadly, a ten point gap. Moreover, only 35% of LGBTQ+ youth of color receive emotional counseling. 

Mental health is important — and we must find solutions to address these inequities.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) COVID-19 Vaccination Public Education Campaign, We Can Do This, created an estimated $731.9 billion in societal benefits. This result is because of averted illness and related costs that led to a nearly $90 return for every $1 spent. Read more about the accomplishment in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
