Learn and understand the use of pronouns and chosen names. It’s important to ensure we use the pronouns and chosen names of individuals to affirm their gender identity
Do not ‘Out’ people — this is a personal choice. Follow the lead of the LGBTQ+ person in how they wish to discuss their identity.
Provide relevant resources and ways of finding Queer-friendly providers (specifically mental health providers):https://www.wpath.org/provider/search.
Find other LGBTQIA+ mental health statistics to understand the needs of the community.
