For LGBTQ young people whose families and friends don’t accept them for who they are, the holidays can be tough. The Trevor Project’s confidential, 24/7 suicide prevention and crisis intervention services are a lifeline. Please help us be there for LGBTQ youth in crisis — every single one — by making your best gift today.
Trevor community members have been sharing messages of encouragement for struggling young people who may need extra support this time of year.
So, I decided to join in and write a letter to my younger self — words I wished someone said to me then, and that I’d like others who are struggling to hear now:
We know that when an LGBTQ young person has at least one accepting adult in their life, they are 40% less likely to attempt suicide. That means words of support, love, and encouragement can be life-saving.
The Trevor Project is the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning) young people.
