The behavioral health department is set to provide information on mental health, suicide prevention and other services found at the agency.
"39-41% of LGBT teenagers contemplate suicide, and so it's important to link them with those services," Supervisor Luis Chavez said.

"I think that's an appropriate use of your resources in your department and for that reason, I fully support that," Supervisor Garry Bredefeld added.
The public health department says the information handed out at the festival will be focused on the trends it's seeing in the county, including a growing number of HIV and syphilis infections.
"When we evaluate the data, this is a population we need to be communicating with, and we need to have a good relationship with this population as well," Fresno County Public Health director Joe Prado stated.
"I do see a role for public health to be at this event as well as many events, disseminating important medical and clinical information to a wide variety of populations," Bredefeld said.
At last year's pride festival, the health department handed out custom rainbow-wrapped condoms, personal lubricant, stylized fans, and pamphlets, which, according to Bredefeld, totaled $6,000 in taxpayer money.
"Which I didn't see as a role of public health, and I thought it was a complete waste of taxpayer money," Bredefeld stated.
But many thought it was a cost-effective way to prevent the spread of STDs.
That controversy led to the supervisors' decision to require each county department to get board approval for celebrations and recognitions, as well as sponsor events like the vote on Tuesday.
This decision comes just a week after the supervisors denied the county's public libraries permission to attend the event.
However, last week's vote encompassed the libraries' ability to spend money on celebrating pride within their facilities and participating in the festival.
On Tuesday, the departments were seeking only approval to spend money on participating in the festival itself.
