🌈 Happy Pride Month from the Psychology Department! 🌈

This June, we’re launching a series focused on Understanding Identity & Mental Health: highlighting experiences, concepts, and conversations that can help us build more informed, compassionate, and inclusive communities.

Our first topic is minority stress: the additional stress LGBTQ+ individuals may experience due to stigma, discrimination, exclusion, fear of rejection, and navigating environments where they may not always feel fully seen or supported.

Minority stress can influence mental health, academic experiences, relationships, performance, and sense of belonging, but supportive communities can make a meaningful difference.

As we move through Pride Month, we invite you to learn alongside us, reflect on how we show up for one another, and consider the small and large ways we can help create spaces where people feel respected, affirmed, and safe being themselves.
