The data from our 2025 U.S. National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ+ Young People tells truths that we cannot ignore. The Trevor Project’s research is one of the most comprehensive looks at what our youngest community members are facing.

One of the many eye-opening realities from our research is this: Transgender healthcare is life-saving, but too many young people can’t access it. Specifically…

• Less than half of transgender and nonbinary young people who wanted hormones were able to access them
• 87% of those with using hormones were worried they could lose access altogether
• 75% faced barriers to getting care
• Those who couldn’t access care were nearly twice as likely to attempt suicide

Check out our blog to dive deeper into the truths of trans healthcare. While gender-affirming care for queer youth remains a misrepresented political talking point, we remain steadfast in the fact that every transgender and nonbinary young person deserves the care they need to live.

If you want to have even more impact as an advocate and support for LGBTQ+ young people, please check out our full 2025 U.S. National Survey. The findings remind us that LGBTQ+ youth need our help, and with your continued action and support, we can change the world for the young people we serve.

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.
