The study’s authors called for more research on the problem of LGBTQ+ intimate partner abuse.
“If these bills go into play, what was I actually fighting for?” said a mother of a gay teen who died by suicide. “We all deserve protection. We all deserve to feel comfortable. We all deserve to feel love."
The three-digit number will provide easier access than the existing, longer one.
The number would provide ease of access for all, including particularly at-risk populations such as LGBTQ youth.
It will be the second year that the suicide prevention organization will provide services to young people in distress.
The move is the organization's first international expansion, and the Trevor Project expects to eventually serve other countries as well.
Government policy and legislation impact lives just as much as the availability of health care services.
The Trevor Project called it a “fatal proposal.”
The Trump administration is cutting the 988 special service for LGBTQ+ youth, but there are still several existing lifelines for LGBTQ+ youth in crisis. Here are some.
The internet rumor is false, but there are still resources available for people in crisis.
A new report from the agency recommends specialized services for LGBTQ youth and a three-digit hotline for all.
San Francisco-based Trans Lifeline has collected an all-trans staff of volunteers who aim to make the crisis hotline experience more comfortable and accessible for trans callers.
The move, including tests of artificial intelligence, comes after some people live-streamed suicides on the site.
The Trevor Project partners with Facebook to reach LGBT youth in crisis through instant messaging.
Lawmakers say the move to eliminate 988’s LGBTQ+ youth line is “shortsighted and dangerous” and “will have lethal consequences.”
This is likely due to the stress caused by discrimination, bullying, and lack of family support, researchers say.
The bill is the first one with LGBTQ+ provisions to be unanimously approved by both houses of Congress.
A leaked budget draft shows the federal government's plans to eliminate all funding for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline’s LGBTQ+ Youth Specialized Services.
“While we strongly disagree with the many actions taken by the Trump Administration targeting LGBTQ+ individuals, we believe that suicide prevention should be a nonpartisan issue," the Democratic senators wrote.
Karine Jean-Pierre and others have called out Trump’s proposed cuts to LGBTQ+ suicide prevention services, which health experts and advocates alike say could devastate the 988 lifeline for queer youth.
The move aims to help save the lives of at-risk young people.
