Our Commitment
At Higher Health, we recognize the importance of addressing the unique challenges faced by LGBTQI+ students within the higher education environment. LGBTQI+ individuals often encounter discrimination, stigma, and violence, which can have profound impacts on their physical and mental well-being. As part of our commitment to promoting inclusivity and equity on campuses, we prioritize supporting LGBTQI+ students through various initiatives and resources.
Safe Affirming Spaces
Peer-led destigmatization activities play a crucial role in empowering vulnerable groups, including LGBTQI+ students, and fostering a more respectful and enabling campus environment. These activities aim to challenge stereotypes, combat discrimination, and promote acceptance and understanding among students and staff alike. By amplifying the voices and experiences of LGBTQI+ individuals, we strive to create safe and affirming spaces where all students can thrive.
Challenges faced by LGBTQI+ students
Research conducted by Higher Health sheds light on the challenges faced by LGBTQI+ students within higher education institutions. These statistics underscore the urgent need for targeted interventions and support services to address the systemic barriers and prejudices that LGBTQI+ students encounter.
Our Dedication
Through advocacy, education, and tailored support services, Higher Health is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of LGBTQI+ students. We strive to create a campus environment where all individuals feel valued, respected, and empowered to embrace their authentic selves.
By working collaboratively with stakeholders and championing inclusive policies and practices, we aim to build a more equitable and welcoming higher education community for LGBTQI+ individuals.
