Inclusive Support for Youth Data

YOU BELONG HERE DOCUMENTARY

Developed by a team of professionals who grew up and live in the rural South, many of whom also identify as LGBTQ+. The You Belong Here film aims to address the issue of LGBTQ+ youth suicide by highlighting the vital role that affirming allies play in promoting positive mental health and suicide prevention amongst individuals who identify within the LGBTQ+ community, specifically within the American South. Through the use of film, this campaign shares the stories of 27 individuals who identify as either a member or ally of the LGBTQ+ community within the American South. Along with these stories, the campaign also offers thorough education related to allyship, suicide prevention, and mental wellness.

Through offering viewers a diverse understanding of LGBTQ+ experiences in the South, our hope is further viewers willingness to understand, care for, and celebrate the unique stories, perseverance, and resiliency of Southern LGBTQ+ people.
