While acceptance of LGBTQ+ people is growing, there is still a long way to go. Traumatic events related to identity or gender presentation have affected many members of these communities. All aspects of your life can be affected by these experiences, including your relationships, family, work, school, and even your health. Chronic health conditions are twice as likely to affect children with a history of trauma. Whether a victim is a child or an adult, bullying and harassment have a significant impact on their daily lives. It is also possible to encounter discrimination in the workplace or in other settings that do not provide equal protection based on gender and sexuality.
