“LGBTQ+ individuals have disproportionate rates of crises when compared to non-LGBTQ+ individuals. However, LGBTQ+ individuals express a nervousness when reaching out to crisis services that are not LGBTQ+ specific. They fear being discriminated against, being misunderstood, or being forced to interact with institutions that might feel unsafe. Non-LGBTQ+ specific hotlines and their crisis responders can work to make their services more LGBTQ+ inclusive.”
