After the tragedy in Orlando that affected the Latinx community and the LGBTQ community as a whole, The Trevor Project, the only national accredited suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ youth under age 25, had a 70% increase in calls, chats, and texts. 

We are continuing to see black, brown, and LGBTQ lives lost. For National Suicide Prevention Month, we must take a stand to show LGBTQ youth of all colors we are fighting for their lives.

With the rate of suicide attempts by LGB Youth being four times higher than that of straight youth and nearly half of trans youth having seriously thought about taking their lives, it’s important to show LGBTQ youth that they matter.

You deserve to have a bright future.
