U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla came Wednesday to the San Francisco LGBT Center to announce plans to launch a Senate mental health caucus.
The caucus will serve as a bipartisan forum for senators to discuss mental health issues and pursue legislative goals. Padilla is working with the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and a bipartisan group of senators to launch the caucus.
Padilla said that"given the trauma that they might have experienced in life, given the trauma and challenges of what they experience on any given day," young members of the LGBTQ community particularly need more mental health support.
