LGBTQ+ Resources

The Buckeye Ranch stands in solidarity with our LGBTQ+ youth and community. Please amplify this call to action for Spectrum News to take down their harmful story affirming conversion therapy and read this collective letter signed by 35 Ohio LGBTQ+ organizations.

Spectrum Letter

It's okay to ask for help. We are stronger together. Due to discrimination, LGBTQ+ folks are disproportionately affected by the weight of mental health challenges. If you need support, there is a wide, affirming community of people and resources here to help you embrace your authentic self and identity. Explore the resources and amazing work being done by and for the LGBTQ+ community here in Central Ohio. We've focused on lifting up the work being done here in Columbus but hope to expand this hub of resources to include other Ohio communities. Know a resource that you think needs to be included? Reach out to Trish Richter at prichter@buckeyeranch.org and let us know!
