LGBTQ Resources
The Suffolk County Department of Health Services joins its Office of Minority Health in promoting LGBTQ Health Awareness and encourages everyone to speak openly about LGBTQ health, providing an umbrella under which to discuss and raise awareness of mental health, transgender health, and ending stigma through accessible, affirming, and inclusive healthcare services, so that everyone can fully live their truth.
Research suggests that LGBTQ individuals face health disparities linked to societal stigma, discrimination, and denial of their civil and human rights.
Below are resources for affirming care and programming for the LGBTQ community in Suffolk County.
