Impact of Footwear Insecurities

The Why:

LGBTQIA+ individuals experiencing footwear

insecurities face increased risks of foot-related health

issues, including infections, blisters, and injuries.


Footwear insecurities contribute to feelings of self consciousness and low self-esteem, impacting mental

health and overall well-being.


Lack of suitable footwear can hinder access to

employment opportunities, education, and social

inclusion, perpetuating cycles of poverty and

marginalization within the LGBTQIA+ community.

Our Partners

We partner with a variety of organizations and businesses in our community to provide comprehensive mental health services to those in need.
