Virtual Pride Panel - Responding to Black Queer Youth Mental Health Needs

Q. What can folks do to better support Black Queer and Trans Youth?

A. Therapy is good, but it’s not accessible and I think that if you know, people who had money people in power like we did take their money and like put it into paying no black Trans therapist and Black Queer therapist like then you have like free therapy for Black Trans and Queer youth. Like I think that if you just give the money to therapist and have a bunch of free therapy I think that would really help. It does not change like the systemic barriers, the systematic oppression what’s out the what I will say it it can like things that’s happening in here [referencing ones heart] or make it make more sense.
