Um, I know you have some embedded legal services at OKEQ, but how often do you see people, um, maybe presenting with legal issues that they haven't identified as having a legal component? And what do you do, or what does the organization do to help people, like, identify and navigate those?

Yeah.

I would say a large majority of the calls with legal questions that we have come in does have that question mark around it, or this layer of, "I feel like this will escalate more," but it hasn't yet.

And so one of the things I've been doing for the last year is really working to build, whether it's in the legal space, health space, access to resources space, is to build as strong of a network of partners around us as possible so that we have a really clean and quick referral process.

We know that they will come to OKEQ, and we know that the more folks we have to refer out, the less likely they are to actually receive services.

Um, and so one really important resource for us lately has been the LGBTQ+ Bar Association.

And so as folks come in, they have, um, a very diverse group of lawyers, um, who, who have all sorts of practices.

What opportunities do you see for rural communities to increase the level of support for LGBTQIA folks, and how can people in cities help?
