Emergency Lifeline Campaign for LGBTQ+ Youth

The administration closed the national suicide lifeline for LGBTQ+ youth, effective July 17, 2025.

This sends our young people the message:
“Your lives are not worth saving.” We refuse to let that message stand.

Suicide prevention should never be a political issue. In fact, this funding was approved by Congress with bipartisan support for the last four years.

Our Emergency Lifeline Campaign aims to ensure we can continue to protect and support LGBTQ+ young people in the face of significant funding losses and secure the future of Trevor’s crisis services and other lifesaving programs.

Anti-LGBTQ+ attacks from all levels of government have left LGBTQ+ youth facing a mental health crisis unlike anything we’ve seen before, especially transgender youth. Yet despite this unprecedented need for support, the administration eliminated a service that will put hundreds of thousands of LGBTQ+ kids at greater risk of suicide.

This is a moment for action.

We’re working around the clock to provide free, confidential crisis support to LGBTQ+ youth — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. But as the volume of crisis contacts climbs, our resources are being stretched like never before.

Federal funding made it possible for Trevor to respond to half of the nearly 500,000 requests for help we got last year. Trevor’s capacity to support LGBTQ+ young people was cut in half.

We cannot let that happen—not on our watch. We must protect our community.
