“We are currently living in a very toxic world. We are all overwhelmed daily with the stress and anxiety of our daily lives, but if those emotions linger and bullying appears, it may be a sign of something more. With the help of Queer LifeSpace, there is an extensive page on my website dedicated to mental health resources for the LGBTQIA+ community in the San Francisco/Bay Area. Please use it or share it with those who may need it.” JM!
