Mental Health America (formerly Mental Health Association) of Northern California has partnered with Sacramento City Unified School District to create and implement an LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender & Questioning) Resource Line. The resource line is a warm line, meaning that adolescents can call, leave a message, and have their phone call returned within 48 hours by a social worker with experience in providing services to LGBTQ students and their families. Services include information/referral, short-term counseling, and advocacy. All calls are confidential and all services are provided free of charge. The LGBTQ Resource Line number is: (916) 643-7997
Other Resources for LGBTQ clients are:
Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA)
Student-run clubs that provide a safe place for LGBTQ students get support on campus. GSAs operate on the following campuses in Sacramento County: Burbank; Johnson; Kennedy; McClatchy; New Tech; Rosemont; The Met; and West Campus. For information contact the GSA Network at (415) 552-4229 or online at gsanetwork.org.
