As we live in an increasingly digital world, it’s more important than ever to understand how online experiences shape mental health.

Our latest research brief, Online Experiences and Mental Health of LGBTQ+ Young People, explores this complex relationship. This research dives into why LGBTQ+ young people go online, where they go, and how these digital spaces can impact mental health and suicide risk.

In short, when LGBTQ+ youth had access to online spaces where they felt safe and understood, they reported better mental health and lower suicide risk compared to those who did not.

Additionally, LGBTQ+ young people who reported higher rates of past-year suicide consideration and attempts were more likely to say they go online to connect with others because they face challenges finding meaningful connections in their daily lives.

These findings reinforce what we see every day at The Trevor Project: LGBTQ+ young people need safe and welcoming spaces where they feel seen, supported, and connected. Whether online or through our 24/7 crisis services, we’re here to meet young people where they are—offering life-saving support, fostering community, and working to build a world where every LGBTQ+ young person can live and thrive.

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.
