February is LGBT+ History Month, which celebrates the contributions of LGBTQ+ people to medicine and healthcare. It's also a time to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ history and health inequalities.

This February, let's look at some common misconceptions regarding LGBTQ+ health.

Holiday seasons can be joyful but also challenging, especially for LGBTQ+ individuals navigating family dynamics or feeling isolated. Here are some wellness tips to help you thrive:

Set boundaries and prioritize your mental health. It's okay to say no to gatherings or conversations that feel unsafe.
Celebrate with those who uplift and affirm you.
Practice self-care—whether it's journaling, meditation, or a favorite activity, make time for yourself.
Seek support if needed. There’s no shame in reaching out.

Today, we honor the strength, resilience, and diversity of people with disabilities worldwide. This year, we highlight the powerful intersections between disability and LGBTQ+ identities.

For many, living with disabilities and LGBTQ+ identities means navigating unique challenges—systemic barriers, limited representation, and the fight for spaces that embrace the full spectrum of their identity. Despite this, these communities lead the way in building support, joy, and advocacy networks that inspire us all. Whether you hold these identities or not, we must advocate for accessibility in all spaces and challenge homophobia, ableism, and transphobia wherever they arise.
