Although telehealth has improved accessibility since COVID, challenges such as personal connection, technology access, and out-of-state provider restrictions still impact care. These financial, social, and structural barriers often prevent people from seeking or continuing treatment, highlighting the need for more affordable, flexible, and accessible mental health services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This website was created through the collaborative efforts of the 2026 LGBTQIA+ Health Fellows Program,&nbsp;an initiative&nbsp;founded and developed through the leadership and vision of Dr. Jan Oosting,&nbsp;Associate Professor, Nursing;&nbsp;Mateo Tebar, LGBTQIA+ Student Resource Assistant;&nbsp;and&nbsp;Anthony&nbsp;Sweeney, Associate Director of Student Life.&nbsp;Special recognition is extended to Tiya Williams, LGBTQIA+ Health Fellows Program&nbsp;College Assistant, for coordinating resources and supporting the website development.
