As we continue to honor Black History Month, we want to empower you with resources to become a more informed and supportive ally for Black LGBTQ+ young people. Research shows that the support of family and allies can be transformative for LGBTQ+ young people. In fact, Black transgender and nonbinary young people with high social support from their family had 47% lower odds of reporting a suicide attempt in the past year.

Your allyship can play a vital role in fostering a supportive environment that positively influences the well-being of Black LGBTQ+ young people.

• Resources for Allyship and Support: Access our curated list of resources tailored to enhance your allyship. From guides addressing intersectional conversations to supporting Black LGBTQ+ mental health, these materials will equip you to be a more supportive adult for Black LGBTQ+ young people.
• Ways to Contribute: Contribute directly to supporting Black LGBTQ+ young people, either by volunteering your time, making a donation, or organizing a fundraiser. Your active involvement can make a lasting impact on their lives.
• Reach Out: Your outreach as a supportive ally deeply impacts LGBTQ+ young people. Take a moment to connect, offering understanding and support to those who may need assistance. You can elevate your allyship further with our training team for an even greater positive influence.

Thank you for your ongoing dedication to creating a more inclusive and supportive world for LGBTQ+ young people. Your actions make a meaningful impact.

Support from individuals like you enables The Trevor Project to continue our work to end LGBTQ+ youth suicide through our crisis services as well as the development of resources and guides like these to promote education and allyship.
