What is
|
|
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. |

Need some inspiration?

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.
