  • May 17: CNN has been highly criticized for its decision to broadcast a New Hampshire Republican town hall style interview with Donald Trump.

Queer Youth Resilience & Mental Health

Air Window: Now – June 30, 2023

Description: Every day, queer teens and young adults are challenged by the politicization of gender identity and sexual orientation and the rise in anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination. And the mental health consequences are alarming. Considering LGBTQ+ youth face continued fights around their identity, what are mental health concerns specific to queer youth? And what support is necessary for LGBTQ+ teens and young adults to best take care of their well-being amid a national political climate that’s working against them?
