As June arrives, we celebrate Pride Month, a time to honor and uplift the LGBTQIA+ community. We know that mental health and identity are deeply connected, and that feeling accepted and supported plays a big role in mental well-being. Unfortunately, many LGBTQ+ young people still face challenges that can feel overwhelming. According to The Trevor Project, 41% of LGBTQ+ youth seriously considered suicide in the past year. This shows how much work we still have to do. At EveryMind, we’re dedicated to offering services and resources that build supportive communities where everyone feels valued and empowered—not just this month, but every month.
EveryMile for EveryMind Recap
Thank you to everyone who ran, walked, volunteered, or cheered during the EveryMile for EveryMind 5K & 1K Fun Run/Walk. Your presence and participation helped create a powerful day of community, connection, and purpose. Every mile moved and every dollar raised was a step toward breaking mental health stigma and reminding others that they are not alone.
We are truly grateful for your support and dedication to mental wellness. We can’t wait to see you back at the starting line next year!
