Happy Pride!

Happy Pride Month!
In honor of Pride, the Being Human Group team is sharing some of our favorite resources for LGBTQIA+ folx and their families and allies. Pride is more than posting rainbow pictures on social media, and we hope to offer some support and information if you’re feeling less than celebratory, or just need more education for yourself or others in your life. We see you, and we are here for you!
