Youth and young adults are experiencing a mental health crisis, and LGBTQ+ young people are most at risk. Mental health issues also co-occur with substance use issues, as young people struggle to cope with anxiety and depression, often with little or no family support.
With funding from the Society for the Study of Social Issues, the Center for Family Studies is bringing these issues to light and encouraging frank discussion and solution-focused conversation.
