Today we highlight our support for the LGBTQIA+ community. Front Range Family Resource Center (FRFRC) is located in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. FRFRC’s unwavering commitment to providing exceptional mental health services in our community.
Why Mental Health Awareness Month Matters
Mental Health Awareness Month is an annual reminder of the importance of mental well-being. It’s a time to educate the public about mental health issues, while reducing the stigma surrounding mental illness. Furthermore, we believe it is paramount to advocate for policies that support mental health care. For the LGBTQIA+ community, these goals are particularly crucial, as they often face unique concerns that can further degrade mental health.
