Why Jonquill?

Welcome to Jonquill!

We’re here to share the story behind our mission and the passion that drives us forward.

As queer individuals, we've experienced the intricacies of self-discovery and acceptance. We witnessed and understand firsthand the unique challenges faced by queer youth, particularly in terms of mental health and well-being. We felt compelled to create a platform that could extend this support to others navigating similar experiences.

It was through these experiences that the seeds of Jonquill were planted. We realized the power self-care and mental health support could bring in navigating the complexities of our lives. Yet, we also recognized the gap in accessible resources tailored specifically for LGBTQ+ youth—resources that speak to the nuances of our intersecting identities and experiences.

Driven by the desire to fill this void, Jonquill was created! Our purpose is clear: we are dedicated to fostering a safe, inclusive, and accessible space for LGBTQ+ youth on their journey to prioritize their mental health and well-being.

Here at Jonquill, you'll discover resources specifically curated to address a spectrum of multifaceted needs. Our blog offers an array of self-care activities, mindfulness exercises, coping strategies, and relaxation techniques tailored specifically for individuals like you and me—or perhaps a friend in need.

Whether you're grappling with the complexities of identity acceptance, confronting discrimination, or simply seeking guidance on cultivating a positive mindset, Jonquill is here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Let's create a world where everyone feels valued, seen, and supported, regardless of who they are or who they love. Let’s embark on a Journey of Novelty, Queerness, Unity, Inclusivity, and Liberated Living (get it?). Ready? If so, follow us along! Your presence and voice matter more than you know.
