Statewide Task Forces

#Out4MentalHealth Task Forces support local community members and organizations with engaging in LGBTQ Mental Health Advocacy at the county, state, and federal level. Each Task Force is led by local community members and organizations and open to anyone and everyone interested in advocating for LGBTQ Mental Health Equity.

Task Forces meet regularly to work collaboratively on mental health policy change. Policy objectives are identified by local LGBTQ mental health stakeholders and based on the needs of their specific community. Task force leads and members are supported with exploring current county system resources and policies, identifying decision makers, and finding opportunities for change.

In December 2022, #Out4MentalHealth launched a video series "#Out4MentalHealth Advocacy Stories" where fellow Task Force leaders share the successes and barriers present in their communities when trying to access affirming mental healthcare services. Watch the videos here.
