A letter to my younger self
Help LGBTQ young people know they're not alone.
Hi Friend,
For LGBTQ young people whose families and friends don't accept them for who they are, the holidays can be tough. The Trevor Project's confidential, 24/7 suicide prevention and crisis intervention services are a lifeline. Please help us be there for LGBTQ youth in crisis — every single one — by making your best gift today.
Trevor community members have been sharing messages of encouragement for struggling young people who may need extra support this time of year.
So, I decided to join in and write a letter to my younger self — words I wished someone said to me then, and that I'd like others who are struggling to hear now:
We know that when an LGBTQ young person has at least one accepting adult in their life, they are 40% less likely to attempt suicide. That means words of support, love, and encouragement can be life-saving.
The Trevor Project is the world's largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning) young people.
