Mental Health First Aid

Mental Health · California · Free

National program teaching how to help someone experiencing a mental health crisis. A starting point for anyone burned by past providers who pathologized identity or pushed conversion practices. Most directories let you filter by identity (gay, lesbian, bi, trans, nonbinary, queer, asexual) and modality. Most LGBTQ+ therapists self-identify in their bios; if it's not stated, ask before scheduling. Open at no cost to LGBTQ+ California residents and the people supporting them.
