- Studies show LGBTQ+ teens who face rejection from their families are 8x more likely to attempt suicide. ACCEPTANCE saves lives.
- Without acceptance, teens turn to "code-switching," where they act one way at home and another way with their friends. This may lead to mental health issues.
- Help your teen find inclusive spaces that accept them just as they are. This will assist with reducing the biphobia/homophobia they may encounter.
- Learn about the dangers of conversion therapy
- Be aware of bullying and harassment
- Provide them and be aware of crisis resources (these offer bilingual services)
