The Trevor Project

The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) young people, ages 13-24. The Trevor Project’s mission is to end suicide among LGBTQ young people. The Trevor Project offers:

• Crisis support: Crisis counselors are trained to answer calls, chats, or texts from LGBTQ young people who reach out on their free, confidential and secure 24/7 service when they are struggling with issues such as coming out, LGBTQ identity, depression, and suicide.
• Advocacy: Through legislation, litigation, and public education, The Trevor Project is the leading advocate for the mental health of LGBTQ young people. This includes advocating for preventative and intervention efforts at the federal, state, and local level to address factors that place them at a significantly higher risk of suicide. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has appointed The Trevor Project to a leadership role in the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention, and the organization is a lead resource for the White House initiative, StopBullying.gov
• Research: Their original research is examined, in depth, through the lens of intersectionality by way of their national survey, research briefs & reports, and peer-reviewed journal articles.
• Education: Designed for youth-serving professionals, The Trevor Project offers multiple tools and trainings to help prevent suicide amongst LGBTQ young people.
