Emergency Lifeline Campaign for LGBTQ+ Youth

The federal administration’s initial budget for FY26 eliminates all funding for suicide prevention for LGBTQ+ youth. In fact, the only suicide prevention funding targeted was money dedicated to supporting LGBTQ+ youth.

If this goes forward, our young people will be left with the message:
“Your lives are not worth saving.”

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

Our Emergency Lifeline Campaign will ensure we can continue to protect and support LGBTQ+ young people in the face of any 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 proposes a cut that will put hundreds of thousands of LGBTQ+ kids at greater risk of suicide.

It’s time to sound the alarm.

Federal funding made it possible for Trevor to respond to half of the nearly 500,000 requests for help we got last year. If we’re unable to fill the expected hole in our budget, Trevor’s capacity to support LGBTQ+ young people will be cut in half.

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