MA LGBTQ+ Mental Health Resources – Anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and actions are surging across the nation, which takes a toll on the mental health of LGBTQ+ kids, adults, and families no matter what state they’re in. Queer people are more likely to experience bullying, harassment, and violence, and ongoing discrimination and prejudice prevents them from accessing support systems and services.
- MindWise – Well-being is defined as the state of being comfortable, healthy or happy. Promoting health and well-being is one of the overriding goals of public health. Are you concerned about yourself or a loved one? You can check your well-being through a free, online screening – it’s quick and anonymous.
