“Resistance as Resilience: Building the Barricades of LGBTQ Mental Health” with Sam Brinton is the title for Conversations for Connection: Supporting Mental Health for Thursday, April 15, 7 pm – 8 pm (MT.)  This conversation will address the cultural challenges that LGBTQ young people face each day and how resilience has created an astounding generation of changemakers. We will learn about the LGBTQ mental health resources available and review the best practices for caring for ourselves and those around us in the age of COVID and beyond. We will end with the example of ending conversion therapy as a transition from resistance to resilience. From the warning signs of suicide to stories about stilettos in the White House, this is gonna be a way for each of us to know how to save lives – including our own. Sam Brinton is one of the world’s leading advocates for LGBTQ youth. They are the founder of the 50 Bill 50 States campaign at The Trevor Project to end the dangerous and discredited practice of conversion therapy, first in the United States and then around the globe. As a survivor of conversion therapy, Sam has spoken before the United Nations and Congress as well as testified on legislation from coast to coast to protect LGBTQ youth across the country. They have been featured in numerous media including multiple viral New York Times op-eds as well as The Washington Post, Playboy Magazine, and TIME Magazine. Sam uses they, them, or their as their pronouns as a genderfluid person.
