National suicide prevention hotline plans to stop offering LGBTQ+ youth counseling. Queer advocates in L.A. wonder what's next
The national suicide prevention hotline is cutting ties with the Trevor Project, a major provider of LGBTQ+ youth counseling services. This move, pushed by the Trump administration, leaves queer advocates in Los Angeles—and across the country—grappling with concerns about where vulnerable young people will turn for support. It’s another blow to a community already facing heightened risks.
Editor’s Note: Suicide rates among LGBTQ+ youth are alarmingly high, and specialized hotlines like the Trevor Project have been a lifeline. Losing this resource isn’t just bureaucratic—it’s a matter of life and death for kids who often lack safe spaces elsewhere. The decision signals a broader rollback of support systems, leaving advocates scrambling to fill the gap.
