Abstract

For this research paper, I identified the unique mental health challenges that LGBTQIA+ college students face. In response to this civic issue, I outline the importance of state-level legislation, and I propose a multi-tiered system of supports be put in place on public college campuses to support the success of LGBTQIA+ students.
