Hear My Voice
Man, do I love this new campaign: Hear My Voice is a project of Break the Cycle, and it’s specifically focusing on empowering LGBTQ youth to create healthy, safe relationships, and providing resources for those who need them. Add this to your arsenal of quality patient information, and make sure to check out some of the tools on the site for yourself, including the teen– and young adult-specific safety plans (PDF). Although the site only has 3 city-specific resource pages (Chicago, Austin and LA), there are plenty of national resources, and links to other information and service providers.
