DANIEL RADCLIFFE X390

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has debuted his new PSA in support of the Trevor Project, which offers crisis services and a suicide prevention helpline for LGBT youths.

According to MTV News, the PSA, which debuted online, features Radcliffe giving the advice, “If you're feeling helpless or hopeless, there's always a safe place to turn."

The free and confidential helpline, reached by calling (866) 4-U-TREVOR, operates 24 hours per day.

"Be proud of who you are," says Radcliffe in the PSA.

Earlier this year, Radcliffe talked with MTV News about why he supported the project.

"It's something I've always been quite passionate about," he said. "Because I grew up around gay men, it was always a natural thing to me. It was never something I ever gave a second thought to. ... And now I am in a position where I can help an amazing thing like the Trevor Project."

    It is amazing that this young man, at the height of his career, is putting so much effort into such an important cause (this isn't the first time he spoken for and contributed to the Trevor Project). Today's young Hollywood celebrities could learn a lot from him. He is the definition of class. Thank you so much, Daniel!
