Carrollton Rainbow Lights Up the Night for Mental Wellness with Tanner Health System

Carrollton Rainbow participated in Tanner Health System and Willowbrooke's Light Up the Night for Mental Wellness event! We met so many amazing people and are grateful for Tanner shining a light on mental health.

LGBTQ+ people experience alarmingly high rates of mental health challenges, largely due to stigma, discrimination and bias in all of its forms. Significant gaps in health insurance coverage, economic injustice, discrimination, bias, stigma and violence all interact to worsen the mental health challenges facing LGBTQ+ people today.

Confronting these barriers and mental health symptoms with an LGBTQI-inclusive mental health provider can lead to better outcomes, and ultimately recovery.

The LGBT national help center offers hotline support for all ages, including specific hotlines for youth and senior at lgbthotline.org.

The Trevor Project offers LGBTQ youth crisis intervention and suicide prevention, including a 24-hour text line (text “START” to 678678).
