Support Resources
Every June, our Nation comes together to support equality, liberty and justice for members of the LGBTQ+ community. Many of us care for someone who is part of the LGBTQ+ community and has an intellectual disability, but may not be aware of the resources available to provide information and support. Helping people acquire the resources, tools and supports to access the LGBTQ+ community can lead people to a greater understanding but more importantly friendships and relationships that are so needed. Below are a list of websites that provide information on support groups, disability and sexuality, and other resources.
