New episode up!! https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/OkMkQOyBgAb
June is Pride Month and for this episode of Not Now, Maybe Later, we are focused on q***r teen mental health. And these are teens who need to be focused on! GLBTQ+ teens are six times more likely to experience symptoms of depression and twice as likely to be suicidal than their peers AND, according to The Trevor Project, 60% of GLBTQ+ youth who wanted mental health care in 2022 were not able to get it. Listen to this episode to hear about resources, trends, and Maine q***r-friendly events happening throughout Pride and year round. With special guest, Maura Oakes from OUT Maine and creator and host of “Thinking OUT Loud: The OUT Maine Podcast”, we talk about issues for GLBTQ+ teens in schools, 2023 trends like astrology and binging “Heartstopper”, and what the genderbread person is. Listen, follow, and like “Not Now, Maybe Later” and “Thinking OUT Loud” wherever you get your podcasts! NNML is a project of Sweetser.
