Trans lives matter – today and every day. 🏳️⚧️ Being trans, nonbinary, or questioning your gender isn't a mental illness – but the trans community does experience higher rates of mental health conditions and challenges than any other LGBTQ+ identity group. This isn't because of their gender itself – it's due to negative social attitudes toward their identity and lack of access to gender-affirming care. Find information and support in our Transgender Resource Center at mhanational.org/trans. Mental Health America is committed to providing a safe and supportive space for everyone. We will remove any harmful comments that violate our values of inclusivity and respect. Help us create a space where everyone feels safe and valued.#TransAwarenessWeek

Every four years, tens of millions of voters across the country exercise their democratic right to cast a ballot for president. This year, Americans again turned out to vote in the presidential election, along with a range of important federal, state, and local races. While individuals who supported winning candidates are celebrating the outcomes, it is important to recognize that many of our friends, family members, and colleagues are experiencing a genuine sense of loss and disappointment. For Mental Health America, our goals and our vital work continue. We will advocate with all elected officials to advance policies and legislation that expand access to critical services and promote mental health and well-being. And we will call on leaders across the political spectrum and at all levels of government to come together to address the most pressing public health crisis of our generation. Indeed, with more than one-fifth of U.S. adults (60 million people) experiencing a mental health condition in the past year, our work is more critical than ever. This involves ensuring that everyone, from all walks of life, has access to health coverage and the mental health care they need when and where they need it. It means funding critical research and empowering communities to craft and implement their own mental health solutions. It means that we will continue to support substantial evidence and data which inform policy to ensure that everyone – with special focus on the most vulnerable communities – are met with effective and sustainable solutions. Lastly, It also means fostering open, nonjudgmental conversations and equipping everyone, especially our youth, with the necessary tools for resilience, well-being, and early intervention. In this time of transition, we hope that the new administration, along with lawmakers across the country, both incumbent and newly elected, will maintain a focus on mental health and substance use conditions. These conditions affect all of us, regardless of party affiliation. We hope that leaders will seek to increase access to care and address the root causes of poor mental health. While we may not always agree on the approach, we all want a society that promotes mental health, and we want well-being for our loved ones and ourselves. We believe that, by working together, we can make progress toward that goal - for everyone, for all of us.https://lnkd.in/eC4F622m
