Friend, September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, a time to reflect and take action to support the 41% of LGBTQ young people who have seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year and show them that they deserve a welcoming world ready to support them.

Learning the warning signs of suicide is the first important step to identifying a loved one experiencing a moment of crisis and enabling connection to help if they need it. We encourage you to review our guide to ensure that you are able to identify the signs.

The 2023 U.S. National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ Young People showed the power of community and affirming spaces as having a positive impact on the mental health of LGBTQ young people. We encourage all adults to engage with resources to learn more about gender identity and sexuality, mental health, and support and acceptance, to deepen their allyship to LGBTQ young people and foster an environment of affirmation and support.

Donations from community members like you enable The Trevor Project to serve LGBTQ young people in a moment of crisis, advocate for political action, and develop resources like this. If you are able to, we ask you to consider supporting our work today >>
