Holiday breaks can be especially difficult for queer students where going back could mean confining parts of you for survival. SUNY Geneseo’s article compiles self-care tips and reminders adapted from a Trevor Project blog on this issue.
While they list some crisis hotlines (some also listed at the bottom of this page), please be informed about non-consensual active rescue policies they have.
Know you are loved and cared for by UR peers and by our lil oSTEM community. <3
The Human Rights Campaign has compiled Coming Out Resources if you’d like help when, if, and how you navigate your coming out journey (home, work, etc.).
The Health Promotion Office’s Queer Resource Health Guide details various university health resources (specifying which are covered by the mandatory health fee all UR students pay) and resources & care services available to queer students. Although it is not a comprehensive list, it is a great jumping off point and if the HPO doesn’t know the answer, they will definitely know who to ask.
