International Non-Binary Day celebrates non-binary people and works to raise awareness about gender diversity. This movement aims to bridge the gap between non-binary individuals and the understanding and acceptance they deserve. It’s not just about highlighting the issues but also about calling on communities, professionals, and institutions to offer support and ensure non-binary individuals feel seen and respected. Research, studies, and individual testimonies tell us that non-binary people struggle with mental health challenges at higher rates and here at Evolve, we are dedicated to providing supportive and gender inclusive care.  Society has come a long way in understanding of gender differences and we still have a long way to go. International Non-Binary Day helps bring understanding of those who don't fit into traditional gender categories. It is a day to bring awareness around the struggles they face in order to create more supportive and safe spaces in our communities. Join us in celebrating International Non-Binary Day by spreading love, acceptance, and awareness. Together, we can make a difference. #nonbinary #mentalhealthtips #mentalhealthsupport

At Evolve, we understand that gender is a non-binary construct that allows each of us to select our own gender identity, even if it differs from the sex we were assigned at birth. Through research and culturally informed evidence-based treatment, we give LGBTQ+ teens the skills they need to live full, vibrant lives that allow them to proudly claim who they are.  Swipe through this post to see the core pillars of our program and learn more about gender-affirming care at Evolve here: https://lnkd.in/eTiS-vQE ?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=&utm_content= #teenprograms #teencare #lgbtsupport #genderaffirming #genderaffirmingcare

Access to mental health resources shouldn't be determined by race or ethnicity. July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to recognize and address the unique challenges that racial and ethnic minorities face regarding mental health, including access to care, quality of care, stigma, cultural barriers, representation, advocacy, and resources and support. At Evolve, we believe that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and cared for, and we are dedicated to providing quality evidence-based care to all clients and families. #teenprograms #teenmentalhealth #bipocmentalhealth #minoritymentalhealth
