Our Impact

Since founding in 2019, SQSH has fielded 710+ Helpline calls, trained 90 peer counselors, provided 90+ hours of trainings, hosted 15 events and classes for 300+ attendees, published 1,900+ resources and 1150+ reviews on SQSHBook, and partnered with 20+ healers to provide holistic healing services to 45 clients.

As we realign on our strategic plan, we aim to realign on our core values, update our goals and objectives, and strengthen our internal foundation.

We will continue to prioritize our key focus areas:

  • strengthening the St. Louis LGBTQIA+ community through peer support and capacity-building

  • reducing queer St. Louisans’ barriers to accessing resources through resource connections

  • uplifting community voices through data collection, advocacy, and storytelling

  • building buy-in to our mission through education and partnerships
