In 2017, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation partnered with researchers at the University of Connecticut to conduct a groundbreaking survey of over 12,000 LGBTQ youth and capture their experiences in their families, schools, social circles, and communities. The survey findings unveil the challenges and needs for LGBTQ Latinx youth, including the importance of access to mental health service providers that are culturally competent and LGBTQ-affirming, and the importance of safe and non-discriminatory school environments.
