45% of LGBTQIA+ youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year.

0%

LGBTQIA+ youth who felt high social support from their family reported attempting suicide at less than half the rate of those who felt low or moderate social support.

Fewer than 1 in 3 transgender and nonbinary youth found their home to be gender-affirming.

Southside Behavioral Health hosted a workshop Aug. 15, 2022, to convene a discussion of identity, terminology and acceptance.
