Safe Space for the LGBTQIA+ Community
Life throws a lot at us sometimes. Navigating the twists and turns brought on by school, friends, work or health issues can sometimes leave us in a place that we don’t want to be. If you are feeling lonely, frustrated or uncertain about the future it’s okay to reach for a helping hand. The Helpline Center is dedicated to getting you back on track and heading towards hope.
While existing in the LGBTQIA+ spectrum doesn’t automatically mean extra challenges get thrown in the mix, it does create potential for additional stressful situations to pop up. That’s why the Helpline Center has committed to being a Safe Space, to allow you to be who you are and not feel judged by it.
We’re here to support our community, we’re here to support you.

Support Sheets
Support Sheets are designed to provide concise and beneficial information. These summary documents are designed to provide an overview of a variety of mental health topics and we hope they serve as a reminder that recovery is possible.
You are not alone. Every day people turn to 211 for information and support – whether financial, family, mental health, or disaster-related. All calls, text and emails are free and confidential. To begin searching our 211 resource database, please click here.
