Today, on World Suicide Prevention Day, we honor the lives of those impacted by suicide and recommit to building a world where every LGBTQ+ young person feels safe, supported, and never alone.

The need is urgent: 39% of LGBTQ+ young people seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year — including nearly half of transgender and nonbinary young people. More than 1 in 10 attempted suicide. Behind every number is a young person who deserves compassion, understanding, and care.

One of the most powerful steps supportive adults and allies can take is to talk about suicide safely. That’s why we’re sharing a powerful episode of TrevorTalks: How to Talk About Suicide Safely — offering guidance and practical tips for starting difficult but lifesaving conversations.

Beyond World Suicide Prevention Day, The Trevor Project is here 24/7 with resources and crisis services to support LGBTQ+ young people and the adults who care about them:

Trevor Resources – Explore guides, blogs, and tools to help you support LGBTQ+ youth. > >

Crisis Services – If you or someone you know is struggling, our trained counselors are available anytime, day or night. Get help now. > >

By learning, sharing, and showing up, you can help create a world where LGBTQ+ young people know their lives are worth fighting for.

Support from individuals like you enables The Trevor Project to continue our work to end LGBTQ+ youth suicide through our crisis services as well as the development of resources and guides like these to promote education and allyship.
