Many mental illnesses and mental health conditions carry heightened stigma. But there are a few that carry more stigma than most. This can prevent individuals from receiving compassionate care, which can worsen their conditions.

This is especially true for queer folx who live with highly stigmatized conditions.

We offer education surrounding these conditions from experts who have lived experience and include education on their prevalence within the queer community.

Our focuses are:

- Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

- Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)

- The Autism Spectrum

We provide articles on various mental health conditions and queer focused topics. We frequently feature queer folx in the mental health space and highlight their work and perspectives.

We regularly update our resource directory to help you find the resources that you need within mental health, as well as housing, jobs, and more.

Our resource directory includes trusted organizations and professionals vetted by Sage Nestler, MSW.
