Goldbach said that LGBTQ-informed crisis counselors are particularly crucial for LGBTQ young people in crisis given that they’re often “not surrounded by other LGBTQ people who can … help them make meaning” out of their identities and experiences of discrimination. “There are times when young queer people have a crisis that isn’t necessarily wrapped up in identity” — such as going through the pain of a breakup — “and I think sometimes people who don’t have a lot of experience in counseling with queer people keep wanting to take it back to that and assume that that must be the core of the problem, and that can be really stigmatizing,” he said.
