Coming out can look different for everyone.

For some people, it’s a big conversation. For others, it’s telling one person.
And for some, it’s simply getting to a place where they can be honest with themselves.

Today is National Coming Out Day. We’re celebrating LGBTQ+ people and the courage it can take to live openly and authentically.

You deserve spaces where you can be yourself, access care without judgment, and feel safe being exactly who you are. 💜🏳️‍🌈

Your health isn’t just what’s happening in your body.

It’s also how you’re feeling. How you’re coping. Whether you feel safe. Whether you have support. Whether you have somewhere to turn when things get heavy.

Living with HIV, waiting on test results, managing stigma, caring for someone else: all of it carries weight.

Today is World Mental Health Day, and it’s a reminder that mental health deserves care just like physical health does.

Check in with yourself. Check in on somebody you love. 💜

And if things are feeling heavy, call or text (757) 247-1879 for support.

You can also connect with others at our monthly HIV Support Group, happening Tuesday, October 13, from 6–7:30 PM.

📍 247 28th Street, Suite 100, Newport News, VA 23607
