Inclusion is more than a word—it’s a commitment to ensuring every young person feels safe, valued, and supported. For many LGBTQIA+ youth, discrimination and mental health struggles create barriers to well-being and personal growth. That’s why PAL Network is proud to be part of the Proud Ambassadors project, a vital initiative focused on fostering safe spaces and addressing the mental health challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ young people.
The Need for Safe Spaces and Mental Health Support
LGBTQIA+ youth experience higher rates of anxiety, depression, and social exclusion compared to their peers. These struggles are often intensified by a lack of access to mental health resources, unsupportive environments, and fear of being their authentic selves. Without safe spaces and proper support, their well-being is at risk.
The Proud Ambassadors project is working to change this reality by empowering youth workers, mental health professionals, activists, and policymakers to create more inclusive communities where LGBTQIA+ youth can thrive without fear or discrimination.
