Wednesday, April 26, 2023

NEW YORK, April 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- As we grapple with numerous states across the country enacting harmful anti-LGBTQ legislation, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), the nation's leading suicide prevention organization, calls upon local legislators to reject anti-trans legislation and encourages people to rally around the LGBTQ community by asking their elected officials to enact laws supporting these individuals.

Key Points: 
  • It's important to emphasize that it's not an individual's LGBTQ identity that elevates risk for suicide.
  • We take our responsibility to educate the public about mental health and suicide very seriously, especially when communities are at increased risk.
  • This directly threatens the physical and mental health of our community and poses an increased risk for deterioration in mental health.
  • LGBTQ individuals need and deserve access to quality physical and mental healthcare and I, with AFSP, will continue to advocate for the fundamental human rights to health and safety."
