The mission of GLMA's Behavioral Health Task Force is to ensure equity in healthcare access, education, and training for SGM individuals and healthcare providers. The vision is to establish GLMA as a professional home for SGM behavioral health providers. Our goals are to:

• Increase collaboration between behavioral health and other healthcare professionals.
• Advance SGM health issues within behavioral health practice, research, education, and organizational policy.
• Provide opportunities for behavioral health professionals to collaborate on these issues within their own fields to bring progress to their organizations and educational institutions.

Here are a few ways you can get involved:

• Join GLMA!
