Hearts & Ears, Inc.
is a non-profit organization for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender individuals with mental health issues and concerns. We warmly welcome all sexual and gender minorities with mental illness, as people who are dually stigmatized for being LGBT and having a mental illness can have a difficult time finding full acceptance from others. Hearts & Ears aims to be a community where LGBT persons can feel safe, supported, and welcomed. Friends, family and community members are encouraged to attend.
