When young people are struggling with their identity, facing rejection, or experiencing crisis, having someone to turn to can mean the difference between despair and survival. That’s where The Trevor Project comes in.

Founded in 1998, The Trevor Project is the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ+ youth. Its mission is simple but profound: to ensure that every LGBTQ+ young person knows they are loved, supported, and never alone.

What The Trevor Project Offers

• 24/7 Crisis Services – Text, chat, or call trained counselors any time of day through TrevorLifeline (1-866-488-7386), TrevorChat, and TrevorText.
• Peer Support Community – TrevorSpace, a safe online forum for LGBTQ+ youth to connect with others around the world.
• Research & Advocacy – Groundbreaking studies on LGBTQ+ youth mental health, plus active policy advocacy to improve laws and protections.
• Education & Training – Resources for teachers, parents, and organizations to create safer, more affirming environments for LGBTQ+ youth.

Why The Trevor Project Matters for Consent Culture

Consent is inseparable from identity. For LGBTQ+ youth, living authentically requires safe spaces, affirmation, and the freedom to define their own relationships and boundaries. The Trevor Project supports this by ensuring that young people have immediate, stigma-free access to mental health resources.

By prioritizing compassion and accessibility, The Trevor Project creates a foundation where consent, autonomy, and self-expression can truly thrive.

A Lifeline of Hope

LGBTQ+ youth are more than four times as likely to attempt suicide than their straight peers (Trevor Project, 2023). But research shows that just one accepting adult can significantly reduce that risk. The Trevor Project exists to be that lifeline — a reminder that every young person deserves to feel valued and safe.
