Mental Health First Aid

Mental Health · Connecticut · Free

National program teaching how to help someone experiencing a mental health crisis. Useful for people processing coming-out, family rejection, internalized homophobia/transphobia, or minority stress. Most directories let you filter by identity (gay, lesbian, bi, trans, nonbinary, queer, asexual) and modality. Conversion therapy is banned for minors in 20+ states; if a provider hints at 'change' work, leave and report. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
