Happens Here.

Pride 2022

People in the LGBTQ2SIA+ community are at disproportionate risk for depression, suicide, and other behavioral health concerns. Youth, and transgender people of all ages, face even higher risks, while Black, Indigenous, and people of color; older adults; and people with disabilities also all face additional levels of isolation and marginalization, including within our own community.

People who are LGBTQ2SIA+ are also fierce, fabulous, resourceful, and resilient.

For over 50 years Vibrant Emotional Health have been leaders, advocates, and innovators in mental health in New York and across the country, including administering NYC Well, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, and the Disaster Distress Helpline.

Our groundbreaking solutions deliver high quality service and support, when, where, and how people need it. We believe that everyone can achieve emotional well-being with dignity and respect.

Support Happens Here. Family Happens Here. Hope Happens Here.

Pride Happens Here!
