The Trevor Project -- the nation's only 24-hour crisis and suicide prevention helpline for LGBTQ youths -- received accreditation from the American Association of Suicidology this month.
With the AAS endorsement, the Trevor Project is recognized as an exemplary suicide prevention program according to nationally recognized standards. To receive the accreditation the Trevor Project was required to undergo an evaluation process that looked at the organization's administration, training, and handling of life-threatening crises, among other topics.
"As the only accredited LGBTQ-specific crisis and suicide prevention helpline, we know our services are vital and we will remain committed to expanding our programs and national outreach," Charlies Robbins, executive director and CEO of The Trevor Project, said in a release.
The Trevor Project can be accessed through its website or (866) 4-U-TREVOR. In 2008 calls to the helpline have increased 300% over last year. (Neal Broverman, The Advocate)
