Bisexual people face some of the worst mental health outcomes in the LGBTQIA+ community, but why isn’t this crisis talked about more? For this episode of our Bi+ Health Awareness Month series, we sit down with Bailey Merlin, board member of the Bisexual Resource Center, co-host of Bisexual Killjoy, and researcher at Harvard Medical School tackling bi+ mental health and erasure.

Bailey breaks down the structural barriers bi+ people face in healthcare, the importance of finding community, and how activism itself can be a powerful tool for improving mental well-being. Plus, we chat about the Bi+ Book Gang, funding struggles for bi+ advocacy, and the power of storytelling in making change.
