According to our research, this past year, 39% of LGBTQ+ young people seriously considered attempting suicide. Any number above 0% is too high.
We know that support from a trusted adult — whether a parent, teacher, faith leader, coach, or counselor — can be critical to an LGBTQ+ young person’s mental health. In fact, it can be life-saving: when LGBTQ+ young people feel accepted by just one adult, their odds of attempting suicide are significantly lower. In many instances, by more than 40%, according to Trevor's research.Â
Today you can be the one for LGBTQ+ young people who don’t have affirming adults in their lives by supporting our life-saving programs and services. Help move Trevor’s mission with your 3X-multiplied contribution.
