🏳️🌈 Pride Month at Creekside Counseling 🏳️🌈
At Creekside Counseling, I believe every person deserves to be safe, seen, and supported. Pride Month is a time to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community — and to remind ourselves that affirming care isn’t just kind, it’s life-saving.
🌱 Did you know?
• LGBTQIA+ youth are more than 4 times as likely to attempt su***de than their peers.
• But having just one affirming adult in their life can reduce that risk by 40%.
• More than half of LGBTQIA+ individuals report experiencing discrimination when seeking mental health services.
🌈 In our small town, we have the power to make a big impact — simply by listening, learning, and showing up with compassion.
This Pride Month, we encourage you to:
• Learn the stories behind the rainbow.
• Use inclusive language.
• Be the safe person someone might need.
• Support LGBTQIA+ affirming spaces and providers.
