  • - We’re here for you

    If you are thinking about harming yourself — get immediate support. Connect to a crisis counselor 24/7, 365 days a year, from anywhere in the U.S. It is 100% confidential, and 100% free.

    Our trained counselors understand the challenges LGBTQ young people face.

    They will listen without judgment. All of your conversations are confidential, and you can share as much or as little as you’d like.

    In very specific instances of abuse or a clear concern of an in-progress or imminent suicide, Trevor counselors may need to contact a child welfare agency or emergency services.
