Hey YEG - we are experiencing a brutal increase in overdoses. Please take great care of yourself and your friends. Don’t use alone. Go slow. Have someone with naloxone near by. Be aware of your tolerance level - it may be less if your use has stopped for awhile. We love you.
It’s always a great time to make a financial contribution to @VanFamServices but especially now with this matching donation. This will help @Directions_FSGV serve #youth struggling with #COVID__19 AND the #opioidcrisis.
Always an ally. #LGBTQ #IDAHOT2020 #loveislove #respect4all

In 2019, most trans and non-binary youth (63%) who took our survey reported experiencing severe emotional distress; however, those with supportive families, safe schools, and/or a legal name change were less likely to do so. ow.ly/QlFT50zjxdJ #CTYHS2019 #MentalHealthWeek
Please share this paid research participant opportunity with anyone who is male, South Asian, living in #Canada, gay or bisexual, and between 19 to 25 years old. #LGBTQIA #LoveWins ow.ly/M82S50ze53n
