Abstract

LGBTQ adolescents are at much greater risk of committing suicide as compared to their straight and cisgender peers. This project focused on connecting various community organizations working on teen suicide and compiling a list of resources so that primary care providers might play a more pivotal role in providing mental health support to the Upper Valley’s LGBTQ teens.
