2nd Annual LGBTQ+ Mental Health Summit
November 4, 2023 @ 8:45 am - 5:00 pm
Diverse & Resilient’s 2nd annual LGBTQ Mental Health Summit!
Full registration is closed, however, to see ALOK at 4:00 PM registration and payment are needed!
We are excited to bring ALOK to the Fox Cities for what will be an amazing day of education, advocacy and celebration. Whether you are a member of the community, provider, educator, or ally, join us in solidarity to support the LGBTQ community.
LGBTQ people experience alarmingly high rates of mental health challenges due to a multitude of heightened risk factors related to the stress caused by discrimination, stigma and bias in all its forms. LGBTQ youth and adults face an extraordinarily elevated risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
Join us as we come together to support the LGBTQ+ community and build up protective factors, including social supports and access to LGBTQ-affirming mental health and medical care and other supports.
At the Summit, you can:
• deepen your understanding of issues facing the LGBTQ+ community;
• network with others in our community and from across the state;
• learn what organizations and individuals are doing to advance the mental health,
safety, fairness, and inclusion in the LGBTQ+ community in Wisconsin; and,
• join efforts to ensure LGBTQ+ protections in Wisconsin
• earn Continuing Education (CE) credits, according to DSPS Administrative Code MPSW19.
In addition to the planned sessions, the conference will feature an art space, where attendees can take a take a break and enjoy a calm, self-directed space for emotional regulation.
