Youth's Lives Every Day
Heather Dubrow, star of The Real Housewives of Orange County (RHOC) and longtime supporter of The Trevor Project, generously partnered with Junior Cookies in Los Angeles to create limited-edition cookies that support the organization’s life-saving work.
Heather held an incredible launch event to promote the cookies, and to raise awareness and funds for The Trevor Project. The event will be featured on The Real Housewives of Orange County – airing Thursday, October 9, 2025 at 9/8c on Bravo.
The ongoing support of Heather, her husband Terry, and Junior Cookies helps the organization continue offering its 24/7 phone lifeline, chat, and text crisis services for free to LGBTQ+ young people in crisis. We interviewed Heather about her passion and commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ youth mental health.
You recently supported The Trevor Project by hosting a special fundraiser at Junior Cookies on an episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Can you share more about why you wanted to support the organization?
I’ve been involved with The Trevor Project for over a decade. The work they do is more important than ever. Our kids are in crisis, as a Mom of four (including LGBTQ+ kids) all I want to do is help protect them.
With such a busy schedule between your businesses, philanthropy work, and filming, how do you ensure you’re taking care of yourself and your own mental health and wellness?
As most Mothers do, I definitely prioritize the needs of my children and family above mine! I do find that daily exercise is very good, not only for my physical health, but the mental load and anxiety that I have.
Can you share more about how you and Terry approach accepting and supportive parenting?
We have always been very aligned on our parenting journey. Communication is key, and we are very proud of the relationships we have carefully fostered with our children.
Please share some words of inspiration for LGBTQ+ young people.
I wish I could hug every single one of you that is struggling! I’m so glad there’s an organization like The Trevor Project that is there for you in times of crisis. I know things seem bleak right now in many ways, but things will change. Things will get better. We will prevail.
