You Are Loved was created in response to the alarming rates of premature deaths in the LGBTQ+ community from suicide and drugs.
Our mission is to counter these challenges by leveraging the community's strength, which has long been a cornerstone of resilience within the LGBTQ+ community. The organisation is actively working to break down the barriers of stigma and shame through awareness campaigns that share real-life stories, practical advice, and honest facts, all while providing resources and support for those in need.
“As a community, we need to confront the stigma and shame associated with suicide and drug-related deaths, and we must support each other through open, unashamed dialogue about the underlying factors,” says Marc Svensson, founder of You Are Loved.
