Real Estate Service Announces Support for Lgbtq Mental Health Awareness

PALM SPRINGS, Calif., July 16, 2019 (Newswire.com) - ​GayRealEstate.com, a service which connects buyers and sellers with compatible agents, strives to educate on the mental health issues disproportionately affecting the LGBTQ community and to advocate for the resources needed to support those who may be struggling. 

Lesbian, gay and bisexual adults are more than twice as likely as heterosexual adults to experience a mental health condition, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Likewise, LGBTQ people are at a higher risk than the general population for suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts. About 48 percent of all transgender adults report that they have considered suicide in the past 12 months, compared to 4 percent of the overall population, according to NAMI. 

Early intervention, comprehensive treatment and family support are key to helping LGBTQ people live well with a mental health condition, according to NAMI. But many people struggle in silence and face worse health outcomes as a result.

GayRealEstate.com supports groups like the GLBT National Help Center which provides a free and confidential resource to individuals struggling with these issues, according to their website. The center utilizes a diverse group of volunteers who are committed to speaking with callers (of all ages) about coming-out issues, gender identity, relationship concerns, bullying, workplace issues, HIV/AIDS anxiety, safer-sex information and more. 

Other organizations that provide support and resources to LGBTQ individuals struggling with mental health issues include the American Psychological Association, the Association for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues in Counseling, the Association of Gay and Lesbian Psychiatrists, the National Center for Transgender Equality, the Trevor Project and the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association's Provider Directory.
