Finding Your People in the LGBTQIA+ Community
By Amber Leventry
Social connections are vital to mental and physical health. Having friends and people you can count on gives you a feeling of belonging and comfort. To thrive in all areas of life, you need to feel enjoy you’re part of a community.
No matter where you live, it&#;s possible to find connections with people who understand you in unspoken ways. LGBTQIA+ folks often refer to these people as our chosen family.
