What is the link between depression and sexual orientation?
Did you know that People who are members of LGBTQIA+ communities are nearly twice as likely to develop anxiety and depression than those in the general population. They are also more at risk of suicidal behaviors and self-harm than those who are cisgender and heterosexual. Mental health services have become essential for this population. Due to the growing demand of the clients in our community, Ridgeview has developed programs specific to the needs of members of the LGBTQIA+ community. We understand how difficult and confusing navigating sexual orientation and gender expression can be.
