Stories of Pride: The Power of Us

Take a moment to meditate on the word community. It’s a word we hear often, but think about what it means in your own life. Community can be a group of friends, a church group, a bowling team, or co-workers at your job. The people that show up for us when times are tough and remind us that we all deserve to feel and be included. Consider how your community has gotten you through tough times. What did knowing you had that unconditional support mean for you and your mental health? This Pride, we’re celebrating community. LGBTQ young people need…

Procter & Gamble Announces Their Fourth Annual “Can’t Cancel Pride” Virtual Event

The Trevor Project's research estimates that at least one LGBTQ young person between the ages of 13 and 24 attempts suicide every 45 seconds in the U.S. Currently, about 45% of the youth we serve across our crisis services are youth of color, and we know from our 2022 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health that many LGBTQ young people of color would benefit from increased access to culturally competent mental health support. Trevor centers intersectionality in our work by designing our programs for the many identities that make up the fabric of our community. We use our research to advance visibility, provide…

Pansexuality: What It is, What It Isn’t

Though pansexuality has become much more commonly discussed, there is still a lot of confusion around what it actually is, leaving pansexual young people feeling invalidated. I can assure you — pansexuality is real and perfectly normal. Pansexuality is defined as an attraction to people of any gender or to people regardless of their gender, with the prefix “pan” coming from the Greek prefix for “all.” Pansexuality isn’t a more evolved or “politically correct” form of bisexuality; it isn’t more or less trans/nonbinary inclusive; it’s just a word to describe one kind of sexual orientation. Basically, if you’re attracted to…

Better Hearing And Speech Month

Each May, Better Hearing and Speech Month provides a chance to raise awareness about communication disorders. For us at Trevor, it is a chance to support and celebrate LGBTQ young people with conditions that impact their hearing and speech. Hearing and speech conditions, like deafness, hearing impairment and loss, stuttering, muteness, and others, are very common, but we’ve found that LGBTQ young people with disabilities often lack the affirmation and support they deserve. And because you often can’t see a disability just by looking at someone, LGBTQ young people with communication disorders can find themselves feeling invisible. Having a non-visible…
