What is
​The Trevor Project?

The Trevor Project is the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning) young people. The organization works to save young lives by providing support through free and confidential suicide prevention and crisis intervention programs on platforms where young people spend their time: our 24/7 phone lifeline, chat, text and soon-to-come integrations with social media platforms. The organization also runs TrevorSpace, the world’s largest safe space social networking site for LGBTQ youth, and operates innovative education, research, and advocacy programs.

Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among young people. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth are more than four times more likely to attempt suicide than their peers. Up to 50 percent of all trans people have made a suicide attempt - many before the age of 25*. The Trevor Project estimates that more than 1.8 million LGBTQ youth between the ages of 13 and 24 in the U.S. seriously consider suicide each year and could benefit from our services. 


For the last 21 years, Trevor has worked to save young lives by providing support through our free and confidential crisis programs on platforms where young people spend their time - online and on the phone: TrevorLifeline, TrevorChat and TrevorText. We also run TrevorSpace, the world’s largest safe space social networking site for LGBTQ youth, and operate innovative education, research, and advocacy programs.  

  • TrevorLifeline - The only nationwide, 24/7 crisis and suicide prevention lifeline offering free and confidential counseling for LGBTQ youth, available at 1.866.488.7386.

  • TrevorText - A free, confidential, secure service for LGBTQ youth to text a trained Trevor counselor for support and crisis intervention. Text “START” to 678-678. Available 24/7. Standard text messaging rates apply. 

  • TrevorChat - A free, confidential and secure instant messaging service that provides live help for LGBTQ youth by trained volunteers. Visit TheTrevorProject.org/Help. Available 24/7.
  • ​TrevorSpace - World’s largest safe space social networking site for LGBTQ youth. TrevorSpace.org
 
  • Research on LGBTQ suicidology - Regular evaluations & surveys ensure our services reduce risk of suicide & help us learn of the mental health issues affecting LGBTQ youth

  • Advocacy to protect LGBTQ rights - We work at the local, state, and federal levels to advocate for legislation that protects the rights of LGBTQ people

  • Education to build allies for the LGBTQ community - We educate adults who interact with youth on LGBTQ competent suicide prevention, risk detection, and response

Need some inspiration?

Picture
The OUR PRIDE TREVOR CHALLENGE draws inspiration and guidance from California's Directing Change program and film contest.  
Below, ​check out some 30- and 60-second shorts about mental health and suicide prevention produced by youth and young adults around California for the Directing Change competition. ​

These short videos were produced as part of the Directing Change film contest and is a copyrighted work of the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA), using funds from the voter-approved Mental Health Services Act (Prop 63).  Directing Change is part of California's statewide efforts to prevent suicide, reduce stigma and discrimination related to mental illness and to promote the mental health and wellness of students. These initiatives are funded by counties through the Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA), an organization of county governments working to improve mental health outcomes for individuals, families and communities.

Suicide Prevention
​
Learn the signs, the facts, and how you can help prevent suicide.  Each one of us can play a vital role in ensuring that all young people, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, are provided with safe, accepting and supportive environments at home, at school and in their communities.

​As a parent or educator, you can be a lifeguard for your children or students by understanding the warning signs and risk factors of suicide and letting the youth in your life know that support is always available if they need it.​
