The Trevor Project
Coming Out Resources, Crisis Support & Hotlines, and Mental Health & Therapy
The Trevor Project is the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ young people. Founded in 1998, it provides free, confidential support to LGBTQ youth who may be struggling with depression, rejection, trauma, or thoughts of self-harm.
Through its 24/7 crisis services, including phone, text, and online chat, The Trevor Project ensures that no LGBTQ young person has to face their darkest moments alone. Their trained counselors offer immediate support, understanding, and connection in a space that affirms identity rather than questioning it.
Beyond crisis care, The Trevor Project conducts vital research on LGBTQ youth mental health, advocates for policies that protect and uplift young people, and provides education and training programs to schools and communities. Their annual research reports help shape national conversations around mental health, safety, and belonging.
This work is life-saving. LGBTQ youth face significantly higher risks of suicide due to stigma, family rejection, bullying, and systemic discrimination. By creating affirming spaces and accessible support, The Trevor Project helps young people feel seen, valued, and worthy of a future.
The Trevor Project is not just a hotline. It is a lifeline, a research leader, and a powerful force for hope in the lives of LGBTQ youth across the country.
