In New York State, LGBTQ+ adults are facing challenges that prevent them from getting the healthcare they need. Whether it's the cost of care, medical mistrust or finding a provider that understands your needs, these barriers mean members of our community lack a primary care provider central to a healthy and affirming life.

Our CEO Patrick McGovern published an op-ed in that unpacks the challenges faced by members of the LGBTQ+ community when it comes to healthcare inequities and how the Primary Care Investment Act that's moving through our state legislature can offer one solution to tackling this issue.

It's May, which means it's time to honor Mental Health Awareness Month ( ). Started in 1949, this month-long observance is meant to bring awareness to an aspect of health that is often overlooked: the well-being of our mental and emotional health. LGBTQ+ adults are twice as likely to experience a mental health condition as their heteros*xual counterparts, so it's essential to take care of your body and mind.

At Callen Lorde, 74% of all behavioral health visits last year were treating depression, anxiety, PTSD and other mood disorders. Even as the world feels increasingly uncertain and stressful, there are resources available to help. For patients receiving medical care at Callen-Lorde, our behavioral health team offers individual and group counseling to support your emotional and physical well-being.

To observe this year, we will highlight ways to check-in on ourselves and each other, and share exercises to better connect your body and mind. Follow this channel all throughout for more!

To close out , Callen-Lorde wants to reaffirm how important it is to highlight the many diverse stories and experiences within the Arab American community.

To learn more, we suggest exploring the The Q***r Arabs podcast. The podcast program is forever-growing archive of fascinating conversations centering where Middle Eastern, Southwest Asian and North African and LGBTQ+ identities meet.

Guests include LGBTQ+ Arabs from not just the US, but all over the world. Each episode deepens the point of view of various q***r artists, activists and organizers, and is recorded in both English and Arabic.

Each conversations weaves in the topics of the projects shared goals, which include "racial justice, gender liberation, and s*x positivity."

This week we are observing National Youth Violence Prevention Week ( ) to raise awareness of ending youth violence. Started in 2001, this week of observance centers on how youth can create safe schools and communities through leadership and organizing.

Supporting youth in creating spaces everyone can thrive in is essential, especially since LGBTQ+ youth are about twice as likely to be harassed verbally or physically assaulted at school compared to their non-LGBTQ+ peers.

At Callen-Lorde, we are committed to fostering safety and security for youth through programs like HOTT Adolescent Health, because when youth have access and autonomy to their healthcare needs, they have the foundation to better support each other and their communities.

To learn more about how to get involved, check out , an organization dedicated to protecting all youth.

There's a new emerging s*xually transmitted fungal infection called TMVII on the rise in the US. The first US case was reported in 2024 and is primarily impacting men who have s*x with men.

Often confused for eczema or psoriasis, TMVII is a ringworm infection that can be transmitted through s*x or by sharing personal items like a towel. It causes severe, itchy, red round rashes on the ge****ls, buttocks, and limbs. The treatment typically means taking long–term oral antifungal medication for 6–12 weeks.

The best way to reduce the chance of transmission is to avoid s*x if you are actively showing symptoms and laundering shared personal items with hot water and a high-temp dyer cycle.

This is a developing situation, so the best prevention is to keep yourself informed and ask a provider if you are concerned you have symptoms. You can find more details in a great breakdown from , linked in our bio.

Hannah Moushabeck (she/her) is a second-generation Palestinian American author and book worker, based in Amhurst, Massachusetts. She grew up across New York, Massachusetts, and the UK and comes from a family of publishers.

Having grown up in a household that ran an independent Arab publishing house, she has continued that legacy by joining her family in running Interlink Publishing, the only Palestinian-owned publisher in the United States.

Her children’s book, Homeland: My Father Dreams of Palestine, centers on three young girls who find connection to Palestine in their father’s bedtime stories. It has won The New England Book Award and The Arab American Book Award. In October 2025 the NC State administration prevented Moushabeck from reading her book at a NC State Libraries event.

Ironically, she first was invited there to attend Banned Book Week.
