Mental Health

The homophobia and prejudice that is in our society can be very damaging to us. Thoughts of self-harm or suicide may seem one way of dealing with feelings that are overwhelming or very distressing. If you are having thoughts of hurting yourself or of suicide, it is very important that you seek help and talk to somebody about it.

The following groups all offer free and confidential help.
