The holiday season brings on a large range of emotions — a mix of beauty and stress, joy and overwhelm, social exhaustion, and moments of solitude. For LGBTQ+ young people, the holidays can be particularly challenging. Many may struggle with feelings of anxiety, sadness, or isolation during what is supposed to be a festive time.

At The Trevor Project, we are committed to providing unwavering support to LGBTQ+ young people during the holidays and throughout the year. Consider the profound impact you can have by being the one to reach out to LGBTQ+ young people in your life. Sometimes, a simple gesture, a listening ear, or a thoughtful message can make all the difference in making the holiday season brighter.

You can be the one to help LGBTQ+ young people navigate the complexities they may face. We've put together a self-care guide that offers practical tips for both you and those you care about to help manage and mitigate the challenges and pressures this season may bring. Our dedicated counselors are also available 24/7, providing free and confidential support to those who may be struggling.

Your kindness and compassion have the power to create positive change for LGBTQ+ young people during the holidays and throughout the year. Thank you for being a cherished part of The Trevor Project community and for making a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
