The Trevor Survival Kit

Sexual orientation and gender identity alone are not risk factors for suicide. However, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth face many social factors that put them at higher risk for self-destructive behaviors, including suicide.

The Trevor Project believes that the high rates of suicide are preventable. To this end, we created The Trevor Teaching Guide, a classroom tool to be used in conjunction with the short film, TREVOR, to constructively generate discussion about the myriad of issues surrounding suicide, personal identity and sexual orientation.

Through open discussions with all youth about feelings of isolation, feeling "different" from their peers, or being misunderstood, the classroom atmosphere can empower youth to discuss options for troubled youth and help students to watch over each other.
