"Teaching people how to regulate their emotions is crime prevention. It’s addiction prevention.
It’s su***de prevention. It’s generational healing. It’s how we stop raising adults who explode, implode, or shut down at the first sign of discomfort. Emotional regulation is not just a soft skill. It’s survival. It’s the foundation of a society where people can disagree without dehumanizing each other, where accountability isn’t seen as an attack, and where conflict doesn’t always have to mean violence. You want a better world? Start with emotional education."

To celebrate Pride Month, I want to focus on the mental health resources available for LGBTQ+ individuals. Recently, I had a person inquire why it was beneficial for LGBTQ+ persons to have a mental health hotline that was specific to them rather than included in the resources of the general population. Good question, sad answer. Based on the feedback over the last 10 years with clients and friends who are LGBTQ+, due to a lack of training, not all hotline volunteers or even counselors are understanding or fully supportive. This reinforces the loneliness and feelings of abandonment that are often the root of the hotline call.
So first resource of the month is THE TREVOR PROJECT. This is a non-profit that provides chat and phone support. It includes self-regulation resources and more. Check it out.

Get immediate help 24/7/365. The Trevor Project's crisis counselors are just a text, chat, or phone call away. Completely confidential and free LGBTQ hotline.
