Show Notes
AAPI LGBT+ youth are struggling right now. A new report from the Trevor Project found that 40 percent of AAPI LGBT+ youth have considered suicide in the past year. What’s going on here? We talk to Myeshia Price, a researcher from the Trevor Project, to understand the factors at play. We’re also joined by Crystal Widado, a teenage mental health advocate, to hear firsthand how their identities and mental health are connected.
