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…

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.

Basically, if you’re attracted to…

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…
